Fajardo given starting job, Harker will still play
The game of quarterback musical chairs is continuing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2019.
While veteran Cody Fajardo will get the start, Roughriders head coach Craig Dickenson said Isaac Harker will still see some playing time in Thursday’s game against the host Ottawa Redblacks.
“We’re going to give Cody that opportunity to get out there and go,” Dickenson said after practice Tuesday. “(Fajardo has) done a good job all week but Harker’s going to play.”
The team’s starting quarterback coming into the season, Zach Collaros, is on the six-game injured list following a hit from Hamilton Tiger-Cats linebacker Simoni Lawrence in the teams’ Week 1 CFL matchup on June 13.
