Riders confirm Kevin Glenn to start in Week 14

REGINA — Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach and GM Chris Jones confirmed Wednesday that Kevin Glenn will be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 14.

The Riders take on the Calgary Stampeders at the new Mosaic Stadium on Sunday. Glenn missed the Riders’ 27-19 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Week 13, while backup quarterback Brandon Bridge stepped in and threw three touchdown passes in his place.

Jones also said following Wednesday’s practice that recently-signed Elie Bouka and Marc-Olivier Brouillette will play special teams, while Duron Carter is also expected to return from the injury that sidelined him for the second half in Hamilton:

Sunday’s duel with the Stamps is an important one for the Riders, who have won four of their last five games and are gaining steam in the highly-competitive West Division.

The Green and White trail the Eskimos by two points for third-place in the West, yet hold the second-best point differential in the division at plus-50 points.

This season, Glenn, 38, has completed 70 per cent of his passes for 3,057 yards and 21 touchdowns in 10 games.
