The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ return to the field turned from a feel-good comeback story to a nightmare for the CFL club.
On Thursday, the team announced linebacker Larry Dean, defensive end Freddie Bishop III, defensive back Nelson Lokombo and running back Jonathan Femi-Cole all suffered Achilles injuries during a workout.
The players are expected to be on the shelf for a long period of time, but they are still being evaluated.
“I can say that in all my years of playing football and being around the game, I’ve never seen anything quite like this where we’ve had four injuries like that in the same period of time,” general manager Jeremy O’Day said. “Usually you would see one or two in a year, maybe.”
