Riders Return to Practice with Carter Pulling Double Duty

By Les Lazaruk Jul 25, 2018 | 6:21 AM

Duron Carter took snaps on both sides of the ball Tuesday as the Saskatchewan Roughriders returned to practice.

The all-star receiver saw time at his normal position on offence and at cornerback on defence in advance of Saturday’s home game with Calgary. Carter’s time on offence came about while former Super Bowl champion Will Blackmon saw time with the starting defence at Carter’s cornerback spot. Blackmon was one of three import players to join the Green and White’s practice roster yesterday. The 33-year-old was a member of the New York Giants in 2011 when they won the N-F-L title. Also on the field was Canadian offensive lineman Josiah St. John after coming off the six-game disabled list. In addition, Zach Collaros is “feeling better” but the Riders’ quarterback remains on the six-game injured list.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
