Samuel Emilus, James Letcher Jr. return for Saskatchewan Roughriders in B.C.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are welcoming back key players Samuel Emilus and James Letcher Jr. for their upcoming game against the B.C. Lions. Several roster adjustments have been made to accommodate these returning contributors.
Why it matters
The return of star players significantly impacts the team's competitive standing in the CFL's West Division.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will get a couple of major contributors back in the lineup when they face the B.C. Lions on Sunday.
Canadian receiver Samuel Emilus is unquestionably the biggest addition after missing the team’s last three regular-season games with a foot injury. The Montreal native has caught 31 passes for 448 yards and five touchdowns over six regular-season games this year. He remains the team’s third-leading receiver despite his time away.
The six-foot, 200-pound target was originally a first-round pick in the 2022 CFL Draft. He has since caught 235 passes for 3,362 yards and 18 touchdowns, earning West Division all-star status in 2024. He was named the Most Valuable Canadian in Saskatchewan’s Grey Cup win last season.
