Quarterback Trevor Harris is recovering from surgery to repair the tibial plateau fracture sustained during Saturday’s matchup against Calgary.
“Trevor had his surgery and he’s been released from hospital. He’s home recovering with his family. We’re excited that the surgery went well by all accounts and he’s on the road to recovery,” said Saskatchewan Roughriders GM, Jeremy O’Day on Tuesday.
Outside of the fracture, Harris also had his lateral meniscus repaired as well. O’Day adding that there plates and screws were used to repair the bone.
“After talking to the medical staff they wanted to rule him out for the entire season, but it’s going to, it’s definitely going to be long term. He’ll pretty much be non-weight bearing for about six weeks. That will be the longest period of time and then from there, he’ll start work on his rehab,” O’Day explained.
“He’s already anxious to come back and help the guys in the meeting room and we’re trying to get him to kind of just sit tight at home and spend some time with family and let his leg heal up a bit. But injuries aren’t so much the physical part, it’s usually the mental part that the athletes go through,” O’Day added.
But given the extent of the injury, the Riders’ biggest off-season signing now means so little in the grand scheme.
However the team does not have their eyes set on signing another quarterback.
