Roughriders have shot to regain first place Friday against Elks

This Friday at Mosaic Stadium, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Edmonton Elks meet, with the Riders aiming to extend their 5-1 record and Fajardo returning as Elks starter.
With a 5-1 record, the Saskatchewan Roughriders aim to reclaim first place in the West Division, while the Edmonton Elks sit at 1-4 and last, impacting standings.
After a weeklong quarterback debate, Mark Kilam waited until Thursday to name Cody Fajardo as Edmonton Elks starter, highlighting his return to Mosaic Stadium.
Both Jameer Thurman and Corey Mace emphasized, and Thurman warned, `the Riders will not be taking the Elks lightly on Friday`, and Mace added, `we've got to be on our P's and Q's defensively`.
Then on August 3, 2025, the Saskatchewan Roughriders travel to Montreal Alouettes.
