Riders camp begins in the shadow of injuries By Derek Taylor
Riders QB Cody Fajardo was on the field for Thursday’s fateful practice.
“Honestly, it felt like it was straight out of a movie,” the Riders QB says. “I’ve been here for a year and we’ve done (that drill) multiple times and nothing like that has happened.”
Four players tore an Achilles tendon doing a single drill on Thursday. Linebacker Larry Dean, defensive end Freddie Bishop, defensive back Nelson Lokombo and running back Jonathan Femi-Cole are all out for the season.
“That was a gut shot,” says Head Coach Craig Dickenson. “That was something I’ve never experienced in all my years of football. Not even close.”
