Riders' Harris returns after extended bye week
WATCH: After a bye week, Shawn Bane Jr and Samuel Emilus were back to limited practice, while QB Trevor Harris is back to full practice. Jacob Carr reports. While most of his teammates are fresh off their first bye week of the season, Saskatchewan Roughriders' quarterback Trevor Harris got an extra week of rest. Harris was forced to sit out the Riders' Week 4 win over the B.C. Lions, despite the competitor in him wanting to take the field. 'I was fine, let's probably not go down that road, bit of a shouting match. But always trust what the doctors are saying, and they're looking out for our best interests. And at the end of the day, we've only got one brain and we're all going to be 55 and 60 someday, and I have four kids,' said Harris. The Riders were still able to come out victorious against the Lions, with a 37-18 win. Now, Harris is back to being a full participant at practice. Saskatchewan heads into Week 6 of the CFL slate as the lone remaining unbeaten team in the league and having their starting signal caller back in the fold is a boost of morale. 'The squad is happy as ever to have [Trevor] back out there and doing what he loves to do,' said head coach Corey Mace told reporters Monday. 'For me, I'm always just happy for those guys to be able to get back out there and do it. I know he doesn't like to miss anything.' Harris was not the only Rider seen back on the practice field after missing time due to injury. Receivers Shawn Bane Jr. and Samuel Emilus were limited participants on Monday. On the flip side, offensive lineman Trevion Tate, running back Thomas Bertrand-Hudon, and defensive back Tevaughn Campbell were all non-participants. Mace was impressed by those who did take part in the first practice session of the week. 'The energy was high all the way from the meetings this morning. The dudes missed each other and that's a good thing,' he explained. 'So, everybody was ready to get back and get after it, and I thought the practice was excellent today.' Harris and the Saskatchewan offense will be in tough this week, facing a Stampeders defense who held the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to 16 points last week. 'I don't think anybody has scored a touchdown in the first three quarters on this defense. They make things very difficult on you,' Harris noted. 'So, the best defense is they don't do 65 different coverages, they play what they play, and they make things really difficult for you.' There will be plenty of early season stakes for Friday's West Division tilt, as the winner of the game will take hold of first place in the division.

Roughriders' head coach confident Trevor Harris will be available post bye week
Saskatchewan Roughriders quarterback Trevor Harris (7) high-fives some fans on his way off the field after the conclusion of the CFL Hamilton Tiger Cats home opener against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Hamilton, Ont., on Saturday, June 14, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Peter Power Saskatchewan Roughriders' head coach Corey Mace expects starting quarterback Trevor Harris to return to the lineup after the team's Week 5 bye. 'Trevor will be fine,' Mace said following Saskatchewan's 37-18 win over the B.C. Lions Saturday. 'The timing for the protocol didn't work out.' 'I would expect him to be ready for Calgary,' he added. Harris missed two practices last week as he entered the league's concussion protocol, in addition to what the team described as an illness – forcing the quarterback to be sidelined Saturday night. Backup Jake Maier started in Harris' place. 'We have to find roles in this organization,' Maier said after recording his first win as a member of the Riders. 'I really enjoyed contributing to the team tonight and when they need me, they need me.' 'Whatever the future holds, I'm going to be a great teammate and make sure I'm ready for whenever I'm needed again,' he added. Mace adds the bye week is coming at a really good time. Other offensive weapons like Shawn Bane Jr. and Samuel Emilus joined Harris on the one-game injured list this past week. Offensive lineman Payton Collins has also been week-to-week with a knee injury he sustained in Week 1. 'I know the guys are looking forward to it,' he said. 'Certainly, we're waiting for a couple of guys to see what their status is coming off the bye and a little bit of time off. Even though it's only four games in, [it is a] physical, physical football game.' It wasn't all good news Saturday night. Saskatchewan's offensive line experienced another blow. Guard Trevon Tate suffered an upper-body injury in the second quarter. He appeared to be favouring his arm and was taken to the locker room and did not return for the remainder of the game. There was no available update on his status but the guard was seen in a sling after the game, according to Mace. Running back Thomas Bertand-Hudon also left Saturday's game with a non-contact injury and did not return. Star tailback A.J. Ouellette agreed the bye is coming at an opportunistic time. 'Excited to get some receivers back,' he told reporters. 'Hopefully some of the offensive line can recover.' Others like LB C.J. Avery, OL Phillipe Gagnon and WR Kian Schaffer-Baker remain on the six-game injured list and are not expected to return after the bye. With this week's bye, the team will not practice and does not play a game until July 11 when they host the Calgary Stampeders. The Riders head into its Week 5 bye with a 4-0 record, the exact same record they had in 2024 in head coach Corey Mace's inaugural season at the helm. Saskatchewan's best start to a season is 6-0, which it achieved in 2008.
