The Saskatchewan Roughriders are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak.
The Riders announced Monday that “several” members of the organization have tested positive for the virus and now say an additional six players have COVID-19 for a total of 10.
As a result, the team canceled Wednesday’s practice.
“The club continues to follow all CFL COVID-19 protocols and is in regular contact with the CFL Medical Committee for their guidance and expertise,” the team said in a statement. “At this time, no decision has been made regarding Thursday’s practice or this weekend’s game against the Toronto Argonauts.”
The Roughriders played the Argonauts in the Touchdown Atlantic game on Saturday, losing 30-24 at Raymond Field in Wolfville, NS, home of the Acadia University Axemen.
The 4-2 Riders host the 2-2 Argos at Mosaic Stadium in Regina on Saturday night to close out Week 7 CFL action.
