Saskatchewan Roughriders’ head coach Corey Mace provided\u00a0an injury update regarding Samuel Emilus’ status for his team’s Week 9 match-up\u00a0against\u00a0the Montreal Alouettes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s going to be kind of tough for Sam probably this week,\u201d Mace said. \u201cWe’ve been in this situation before, but\u00a0we’ll get more information.\u201d<\/p>\n
The setback for Emilus occurred during the Riders Week 8\u00a0game against the Edmonton Elks as Saskatchewan\u00a0won 21-18.\u00a0He left\u00a0in the fourth quarter with a knee issue after making\u00a0six receptions\u00a0for 113 yards with one touchdown. It’s\u00a0the second injury suffered by Emilus<\/a> this season, initially he sustained\u00a0a foot injury in Week 2 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats\u00a0and did not return to action until Week 7 against the B.C. Lions.<\/p>\n The six-foot,\u00a0200-pound receiver has suited up in four games for the Green and White\u00a0this season, recording\u00a020 receptions for 361 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Mace provided another update about\u00a0veteran American receiver Shawn Bane Jr.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it’s more making sure that he’s fully confident. He caught a nice pass today, it was awesome to see,\u201d Mace detailed.\u00a0\u201cDoing our due diligence and making sure that all the stars align from that standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n Bane Jr<\/a>., has not played for the Riders since he\u00a0suffered a season-ending knee injury last year against the Ottawa Redblacks when\u00a0he tore his LCL and partially tore\u00a0his ACL<\/a>. When Bane eventually returns to the game day lineup,\u00a0Mace knows he will have an some roster decisions to make.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’ll always look to see what the best match-up is for us.\u00a0We feel, like I said from training camp,\u00a0really good about the receiver depth,\u201d Mace said. \u201cCertainly Shawn\u2019s a part of that, so we’ll see how it lines up.\u00a0I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s making plays like he did in his entire career at some point in the season and when that time comes, he’ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n The Green and White hop on a plane to travel to Montreal and\u00a0take on the Alouettes\u00a0on\u00a0Saturday.
