REGINA — Duron Carter‘s time playing corner may not be done yet.
CFL.ca’s Jamie Nye tweeted on Wednesday that while Kacy Rodgers will return to play defensive back for the Saskatchewan Roughriders this week, Carter is still expected to rotate at both corner and receiver:
Cameron Marshall, Sam Eguavoen, Naaman Roosevelt won’t play. Rodgers back at corner. Duron Carter will rotate in at CB/WR. #Riders

Nye added that running back Cameron Marshall, linebacker Sam Eguavoen and receiver Naaman Roosevelt won’t play.
Marshall returned from injury only recently and will have a chance to get healthy as Head Coach and General Manager Chris Jones leans on first-year CFL running back Trent Richardson.
The Riders take on the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night, one week after defeating the Calgary Stampeders 30-7 in a streak-busting win at McMahon Stadium.
In that game, Carter played only on the defensive side of the ball, helping shut down the Stamps’ offence while returning an interception off Bo Levi Mitchell for six points the other way.
While the Riders cannot host a playoff game in the highly-competitive West, they can still move as high as third place in the division. Should they fail to catch Edmonton, they’ll become the crossover team and play in the East in the playoffs. The Esks currently hold a two-point edge in the standings, with the two clubs colliding in the Week 20 finale.
