Both standout receivers listed as available in final Week 20 injury report ahead of crucial match-up with Montreal Alouettes<\/p>\n
Major reinforcements are arriving for the Saskatchewan Roughriders just when they need them the most.<\/p>\n
Receivers Sam Emilus and KeeSean Johnson were both listed as available in the final Week 20 injury report on Thursday afternoon, meaning the duo will be expected to be in the lineup when the Riders take on the Montreal Alouettes at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Emilus last played on Aug. 23 against the B.C. Lions but sustained a lower leg injury that has kept him out off the field since. Despite playing in only seven games this season, Emilus comes into the contest with 514 yards receiving and offers another valuable weapon to Trevor Harris\u2019 offence.<\/p>\n
Emilus nearly returned for the Thanksgiving match-up against Montreal, but instead took another week to fully heal.<\/p>\n
Thousand-yard receiver Johnson suffered an ankle injury late in Saskatchewan\u2019s Week 18 loss to Calgary and was unavailable last week against the Alouettes. He saw limited action in practice earlier this week but took first team reps alongside Emilus and Kian Schaffer-Baker as preparation progressed, leading to his expected return on Saturday.<\/p>\n
