REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without running back AJ Ouellette for the foreseeable future.
After being listed as out for Saturday’s game against Edmonton on Saskatchewan’s injury report on Thursday, Ouellette was added to the team’s six-game injured list, according to the team’s official depth chart released on Friday.
Defensive back Rolan Milligan Jr. was also listed as being added to the six-game injured list.
Thursday’s injury report indicated Samuel Emilus was questionable for Week 9’s contest and after he was listed as a game-time decision on the team’s depth chart issued on Friday, Emilus was officially ruled out on Saturday about an hour before kickoff.

Ouellette has rushed 63 times for 288 yards this season and has been a key part of Saskatchewan’s ground game. With Ouellette unavailable, tailback Conley will see an increased workload after filling in during his previous absence earlier this season. Conley has been listed as the team’s starting running back for Saturday night’s contest.
Emilus, meanwhile, ranks among the CFL’s top receivers with 31 catches for 448 yards and five touchdowns through eight weeks. Should he be unavailable, Saskatchewan would still have plenty of firepower with Kian Schaffer-Baker and KeeSean Johnson leading the receiving corps.
The Roughriders and Elks meet in a heavyweight rematch on Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET. Canadian fans can catch the game on TSN. U.S. audiences can tune in on CBSSN, while International fans can watch on CFL+.
