The Saskatchewan Roughriders returned to the practice field Tuesday in preparation for Saturday’s game in Edmonton. The 4-4 Riders, who are trying to stop a 3-game slide, play 9 of their remaining 10 games against West Division opponents.
Receiver Duke Williams is up for the challenge, “adversity is hitting us right now and we just got to overcome it. We still have a chance to be on top but we got take it, nobody is going to give it to us.” Williams, who is one of the highest paid receivers in the CFL, admits he has to be better.
