Riders Look to Avoid Falling Into the Pack in CFL West as Argos Visit Regina
Saskatchewan is seeking more takeaways after a 24-interception season last year, with James Burgess Jr. expected to make his second start.
- The 6-4 Saskatchewan Roughriders host the 5-5 Toronto Argonauts on Saturday at Mosaic Stadium, with defensive back James Burgess Jr. starting at cornerback for his second game of the season.
- Saskatchewan seeks redemption after losing to the Argonauts 40-34 at home earlier this summer, as head coach Corey Mace aims to avoid becoming the only West Division team to lose to the same East opponent twice at home.
- Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly leads the league with 21 touchdown passes but has thrown 15 interceptions this season. Burgess said, "In my eyes, ain't no 50-50 with me," expressing confidence in his defensive matchup.
- Roster adjustments include moving veteran Nelson Lokombo to safety while rookie receiver Daniel Wiebe takes an expanded offensive role; James Letcher Jr. returns after missing six games to handle kick returns.
- With star receivers Kian Schaffer-Baker and Sam Emilus sidelined, the Roughriders rely on team execution to maintain their West Division standing in a match that could keep them in the dogfight for first place.
