The Saskatchewan Roughriders could have a change at quarterback for their regular season finale against the Edmonton Elks on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Backup Jack Coan took all the first-team reps at Tuesday\u2019s practice in place of veteran Trevor Harris, who appeared on the field later in the session but did not participate in any drills.<\/p>\n
Top receiver KeeSean Johnson also wasn\u2019t at practice. Linebacker Jaxon Ford and defensive back DaMarcus Fields weren\u2019t with the first-team defence.<\/p>\n
The Roughriders qualified for the playoffs with their 16-12 win over the Montreal Alouettes last Saturday, a victory that was solidified by Johnson\u2019s 17-yard touchdown reception from Harris with 29 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n
The Riders need a win against the Elks to stay on the West Division side of the bracket and travel to Vancouver to face the B.C. Lions next Saturday. A loss puts them on the East side and gives them a date with the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n
Coan\u2019s only action this season came in garbage time of the previous matchup against the Alouettes last Monday. The 27-year-old pending free agent completed both of his pass attempts for 15 yards.<\/p>\n
Harris, 40, has passed for a career-high 5,370 yards this season with 32 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saskatchewan Roughriders could have a change at quarterback for their regular season finale against the Edmonton Elks…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":940469,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[3878,49,48,521,522,520,3290,4398,27684,27683,1893,4401,27682,4400,4399,82],"class_list":["post-940468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-agriculture","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-contests","tag-country-music","tag-gx94","tag-manitoba-news","tag-radio","tag-rider-radio","tag-saskatchewan-news","tag-saskatchewan-roughriders","tag-saskatchewan-sports","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=940468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/940468\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/940469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=940468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=940468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=940468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
