Saskatchewan Roughriders make seven changes for Thanksgiving Day game
The Saskatchewan Roughriders have announced several roster changes ahead of their Thanksgiving Day game against the Montreal Alouettes. Key updates include the absence of left tackle Payton Collins and receiver KeeSean Johnson due to injuries, alongside the return of cornerback Tevaughn Campbell.
Why it matters
Roster adjustments significantly impact team performance and betting odds in professional sports leagues like the CFL.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without left tackle Payton Collins when they visit the Montreal Alouettes at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon. The team made the announcement on Monday morning.
Collins was limited in practice on Saturday due to an ankle injury and was officially listed as a game-time decision. It is now confirmed that he will not play against the Alouettes, and has been moved to the one-game injured list.
Daniel Johnson will start at left tackle in place of Collins. The fifth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft made one start at left guard earlier this season, and made a memorable 17-yard receptions against the B.C. Lions in Week 12. He also made four starts at left tackle in 2025.
American offensive lineman Thomas Perry has been promoted from the practice roster to fill-in at left guard, where Johnson was originally slated to start.
