The Edmonton Elks will turn the offence back over to Taylor Cornelius, who will start at quarterback against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 5 on Thursday. 

Jarret Doege will be the primary backup, with Canadian Tre Ford dressing as the third option. 

Cornelius watched from the sidelines in Elks' Week 4 26-7 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks, who snapped a 13-game home losing streak in the process. 

Cornelius has completed 61.5 per cent of his passes for 440 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
