Roughriders fans will see quarterback Darian Durant behind centre when Saskatchewan takes on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in today's Labour Day Classic.
Watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 starting at 3:30pm et/12:30pm pt.
Durant injured his right hand in last week's 20-16 victory over the Lions at B.C. Place. He received two days of treatment before taking snaps with the first team offence on Wednesday.
On Saturday, the nine-year veteran said his hand still hurts but he will play on Sunday.
Joining Durant on the field for Sunday's action will be newly acquired slotback Weston Dressler.
Dressler re-signed with the Roughriders on Thursday after passing his physical. He was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday and cleared NFL waivers the following day, making him an unrestricted CFL free agent.
"He has that chemistry with me that goes back years and years and I think we're on the same page with everything," said Durant. "We see everything the same way, so I think he's going to bring that big play ability back to the system and it's going good to have him back."
Both the Roughriders and Blue Bombers have amassed 12 points in the standings thanks to six wins, although the Blue Bombers have played one more game than Saskatchewan. Both squads are trailing Edmonton and Calgary which are tied for first in the division with records of 7-1, although they are set to face off against each other in Week 10 action as well.
Saskatchewan won the first meeting of the season earlier this month by a score of 23-17 on the road, which means the Riders have now taken six of the last seven matchups and 11 of 13 versus the Bombers overall.
One of these teams will have a shot at revenge just seven days following this meeting as they get together in Winnipeg for the third and final regular- season clash.
