REGINA — Trevor Harris may not be at 100 per cent physically but after missing six games, the Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback is ready to get back on the field on Friday night against the Montreal Alouettes.
Harris was injured late in the second quarter of a 36-20 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on June 23. The 38-year-old pivot was put on the six-game injury list after spraining his left MCL on a tackle by Ticats defensive lineman Nick Usher.After going through rehabilitation and working himself into game shape, Harris is set to face the defending Grey Cup champions in a clash of first-place teams.“I’m good enough . I can do what I need to do. I can escape the pocket if I need to.
Montreal has won three straight games in Fajardo’s absence, including a 20-16 victory over the Riders on July 25. Als head coach Jason Maas has been coy in recent days about who will be the starter for Friday’s game but on Thursday morning the Alouettes announced that Davis Alexander would get the start with Fajardo serving as backup.
“No, I don't think so. I don't think that plays too much into it, to be quite honest with you. He's as excited as anybody to play and it just so happens that we're playing in Saskatchewan, which he has very fond memories of, and all that stuff. It's a great place to play a game. You want to compete every week, and it’s one of those special places where competing and playing is fun,” said Maas.
