The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Saturday that Canadian wide receiver Kian Schaffer-Barker will make his season debut against the BC Lions on Sunday.

The 24-year-old underwent a procedure to repair a torn labrum in May and was projected to miss the first three months of the season.

He was the Riders' nominee for the Most Outstanding Canadian Award in 2022.
