Thursday marked the final day of practice during the Riders 2021 CFL training camp. While he’s been to many NFL and CFL training camps in his career, 39-year-old Jon Ryan is still finding joy in it, especially after a year-and-a-half away from football. “There’s definitely more yesterdays than tomorrows in my career, that’s for sure, going on 18 years.

For the first time since 2019, the Saskatchewan Roughriders got to hear the cheers of fans. About 100 members of Rider Nation made their way to Mosaic Stadium to watch the CFL training camp action on Saturday. “It was exciting. You could tell a lot of guys had some juice, especially as you get through a week of training camp, there was a lot more juice in practice, a little bit more competitive than I think anyone expected,” said quarterback Cody Fajardo. “To complete a ball or someone makes a good play and to hear fans cheering again, it’s pretty special.

A change in diet led to a change in explosiveness for Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Brayden Lenius. The second-season CFL pro has lost 26 pounds since the last time he took the field in 2019. He now weighs in at 215 pounds. “(I) just want to be more successful in my position and with Cory (Watson) departing last year, I knew I had to take the next step,” Lenius told media on Friday following training-camp practice. “I also got to be with (receivers coach) Travis Moore for the 2020 off-season for a bit before COVID hit. “I’m now plant-based.
