Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris will be placed on the six-game injured list.
Head coach Corey Mace told reporters that Harris suffered an MCL injury but doesn’t believe it will keep him out for the season. Mace also said the team is being cautious with the injury.
Harris was injured late in the second quarter of their home opener against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats after a tackle by defensive lineman Nick Usher. Harris walked off the field on his own, limping gingerly on his left leg.
Harris returned to the Riders sideline midway through the third quarter. He was wearing a brace on his left knee. He tossed passes on the sideline, but the Riders decided to stick with backup Shea Patterson for the remainder of the game.
The 38-year quarterback missed most of the 2023 CFL season after suffering a tibial plateau fracture of his right knee in a Week 2 loss to the Calgary Stampeders.
