Saskatchewan Roughriders add A.J. Ouellette, Rolan Milligan Jr. to six
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have placed key players A.J. Ouellette and Rolan Milligan Jr. on the six-game injured list due to knee injuries. The team is adjusting its roster, with rookie Quali Conley and Jonathan Edouard stepping into starting roles.
Why it matters
The loss of star players significantly impacts the team's competitive outlook for the remainder of the CFL season.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without at least one major star on each side of the ball for their rematch with the Edmonton Elks and beyond.
Running back A.J. Ouellette and defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr. have both been placed on the six-game injured list due to knee injuries. Both players have already missed time this season due to other injuries.
Over four regular-season games this year, Ouellette has rushed for 288 yards and caught four passes for 30 yards. He went down after his leg was twisted awkwardly in the third quarter of last week’s loss to Edmonton, though head coach Corey Mace indicated that the injury was not believed to be long-term. He described the 31-year-old as “week-to-week,” though the six-game designation suggests Saskatchewan believes an absence of that length is possible.
