The Saskatchewan Roughriders will get a boost in their quest to upset the Calgary Stampeders, as quarterback Darian Durant will return to the lineup Thursday.
Durant has missed the past two contests with a leg issue and Saskatchewan went 1-1 over that span. Mitchell Gale filled in admirably, but there is no doubt Chris Jones and company are excited to get their top pivot back.
The 33-year-old has established himself as one of the CFL's most prolific passers when healthy, but the challenge has been staying that way.
In addition to missing a pair of games this year, Durant missed all but one game in 2015 with a ruptured Achilles tendon. The Roughriders have suffered because of it, winning just four games over that stretch.
