Chad Owens’ Roughriders debut on hold again
Fans waiting to see the Flyin’ Hawaiian suit up in green and white will have to keep waiting.
While Chad Owens has finally made his way off the six-game injured list and onto the 46-man roster, head coach Chris Jones has confirmed the receiver will be scratched for Friday’s home game against the Ottawa Redblacks.
“He’s getting closer,” Jones said after the team’s walkthrough Thursday, adding he’s well aware Owens has been wanting to play since week one.
“If you’ve known Chad as long as I have, you know how bad he wants to play, how much he loves football. His energy is evident when you go out to practice and he’ll get his opportunity eventually.”
