Rolan Milligan Jr. returns for Saskatchewan Roughriders against Elks
Saskatchewan Roughriders defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr. is set to return to the lineup for the upcoming game against the Edmonton Elks after recovering from a shoulder injury. His return is expected to provide a significant boost to the team's defensive capabilities.
Why it matters
The availability of key players is critical for team performance and betting markets in professional sports leagues.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will have Rolan Milligan Jr. back in the lineup when they host the Edmonton Elks on Thursday night. The team released its official depth chart on Wednesday morning.
The 31-year-old suffered a shoulder injury in Week 2 when he delivered a blow to B.C. Lions receiver Justin McInnis. He walked off the field under his own power, though he later returned from the locker room with a wrap on his shoulder and his arm in a sling.
The two-time All-CFL selection was a full participant in practice this week and was officially deemed questionable on the team’s most recent injury report. He is now set to go and will start at his usual spot at boundary halfback.
