Kyran Moore will start at slotback while Shaq Evans is on the one-game injured list, along with several other key members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the Green and White released their roster and depth chart for Friday’s visit to B-C Thursday morning.
This will be Moore’s first action of the season. Evans joins fellow receivers Duke Williams, Mitch Picton and Justin McInnis on the one-game injured list, along with left tackle Terran Vaughan and defensive lineman Anthony Lanier. The hope is that all of those players will be ready for the Labour Day Weekend Classic against Winnipeg two Sundays from now. As expected, running back Jamal Morrow joins centre Dan Clark on the six-game injured list. Frankie Hickson starts at running back, backed up by Canadian Kienan LaFrance and Cody Fajardo is listed as the starting quarterback.
Speaking of the Labour Day Weekend Classic, the Riders announced Thursday that all 33,350 seats have been sold for the 4 o’clock kick-off on Sunday, September 4. The news release from the Roughriders follows…..
