The Saskatchewan Roughriders will look to make it two wins in a row to start the 2025 CFL season.
The Riders take on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 2 of CFL action after beating Ottawa 31-26 in the season-opener.
But the Riders have some question marks heading into the game as the team suffered some key injuries in that first contest. Running back AJ Ouellette and defensive back Rolan Milligan went into concussion protocol and slotback Kian Schaffer-Baker and linebacker C.J. Avery appear both to be heading to the six-game injured list.
There is some good news for the Riders as offensive guard Jacob Brammer appears set to return to the lineup and the team signed veteran running back Ka’Deem Carey to a contract.
Jamie Nye and Britton Gray preview the game, take a look at the injuries and the addition of Carey while also previewing the entire week of CFL action in this week’s edition of The Blitz: The Podcast.
