The Saskatchewan Roughriders found themselves back in the playoffs last season. Now under a second year with Corey Mace as head coach, the CFL club has more than just a return to the playoffs on the mind — it wants to play in the 2025 Grey Cup in Winnipeg.

Jamie Nye and Britton Gray take a look at the first week of Riders training camp in the latest episode. The two discuss who has looked good so far, a couple of injury updates, and how they see the lineup shaping up for the first preseason game on May 24.
