Long road ahead for Darian Durant after Achilles injury
The dust has settled from the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ difficult start to the regular season after losing franchise quarterback Darian Durant for the rest of the season.
Durant ruptured his Achilles on an innocent-looking play late in the second quarter against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
“It’s not career ending, there’s no doubt about that. It’s season ending, that’s for sure,” said general manager Brendan Taman.
“We fully expect him to be back next year. There’s a lot of work to be done with that injury.”
