Overview

  • Trevor Harris was held out of Week 4 after missing two practices with a head/illness designation following a late hit by Jordan Williams in the Riders’ 39-32 win at BMO Field.
  • Jake Maier, acquired from the Calgary Stampeders this offseason, has thrown for more than 8,000 yards and 41 touchdowns over two seasons as a starter.
  • Nathan Rourke is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup in Regina after aggravating an oblique injury and logging limited practice time this week.
  • Veteran Jeremiah Masoli stands ready to start for BC, having completed 25 of 44 passes for 281 yards in last week’s 27-14 loss to Winnipeg.
  • Saskatchewan aims to remain one of three unbeaten CFL teams at 3-0, while the Lions seek to rebound from their worst 1-2 start since 2021.
