Elam Sidelined by Hamstring, Won’t Play in Toronto Saturday

There was a nugget of news coming out of the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ “closed” practice Wednesday.

The Green and White’s defence will have to contend with the Argonauts this Saturday, including running back James Wilder Jr., without linebacker/defensive back Matt Elam. Riders’ G-M and head coach Chris Jones said Elam won’t play in Toronto due to a hamstring injury. During Tuesday’s practice, defensive back Crezdon Butler took snaps with the starting defence and he could be activated to replace Elam.
