PHOTOS AND RECAP FROM DAY 12 OF RIDER CAMP

Darian Durant and Rob Bagg take the field …

Player agent Rob Fry (a Luther grad) of the Gil Scott Sports Management Group took in the Wednesday workout … He was in Edmonton at Eskimos camp earlier this week …

The same goes for John Chiles and Kevin Francis …

The players return to Griffiths Stadium on City of Saskatoon buses following the workout …

Riders Head Coach and GM Chris Jones held his daily media update … Details below …

– As planned, Kendial Lawrence figures to be the team’s primary punt returner.  Meanwhile punters Josh Bartel and Quinn Van Gylswyk continued to unleash arrow bombs.  If the Riders indeed plan to keep all three kickers this year, one will have to be 1-gamed or 6-gamed or else another team’s going to snatch him up.

– Jones noted after the practice that Darian Durant will dress for Saturday’s preseason game against B.C. however he won’t see any action.  It’ll be a 3-man show of Brett Smith, B.J. Coleman and Philip Sims however their rotation hasn’t been disclosed.

– We’ve learned veteran DB Buddy Jackson has signed a one-year contract with the Roughriders.  The former Calgary Stampeder signed with the Dallas Cowboys this winter however he got injured prior to the Cowboys’ OTA’s and was released.

– The members of the 2015 Grey Cup champion Edmonton Eskimo staff were delivered their championship rings Tuesday evening.  Jones indicated that the baubles are indeed impressive and the Esks did a nice job on them.
