Saskatchewan Roughriders rookie quarterback Jake Dolegala is expected to get his first CFL start Sunday against the Toronto Argonauts in the rescheduled Week 7 finale at Mosaic Stadium.
The 25-year-old American is listed as the top quarterback on the Riders' depth chart with Mason Fine listed as a game-time decision in the backup role.
Regular starter Cody Fajardo, who has been wearing a knee brace since Week 2 and was in pain after a sack last week in a loss to the Argos, was listed as "ill" on the injured list this week. The Roughriders have been dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak this week, leading to the postponement of the game which was originally scheduled for Saturday.
TSN's Dave Naylor notes that "theoretically he [Fajardo] could come off injured (Covid) list tomorrow and play. But that’s just what’s possible."
