Saskatchewan Roughrider’s veteran receivers Brayden Lenius and Jake Wieneke both participated in practice on Tuesday. The two are coming off the team’s six game injured list.
“I feel really good. I kind of kept [myself] preparing like I was still playing and that really did help me to come out here and play fast and keep it kind of like I didn’t skip a beat so I felt really good today,” said Lenius.
Lenius has not suited up for a game in the regular season after he suffered a lacerated kidney in the Riders’ pre-season matchup in Winnipeg.
“I had some internal bleeding. I went to the bathroom after the game and it was all blood so I had to go to the ER. The doctor said I’ve healed the fastest kidney he’s ever seen so that was a great thing,” explained Lenius – who originally was told his injury could keep him out as long as three months.
As for Wieneke, he suffered a knee injury in week 3’s matchup against the Calgary Stampeders.
“We haven’t been out there together [myself and Lenius] since the second pre-season game so our lockers are together and everything. We were both coming out to practice together [today] and we both just had a big smile on our face. Excited for the opportunity and to be out there together,” said Wieneke.
“It’s great to have those guys back. They were running around today with fresh legs looking good. It’s just great having those big body guys out there and hopefully they can make some plays for us,” said quarterback, Mason Fine.
