REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders will face an old nemesis on Saturday when veteran quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell returns to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats starting lineup.
The 33-year-old Mitchell has experienced a challenging season in Hamilton, seeing action in only three games due to injuries. Mitchell, who signed with Hamilton in the off-season after spending 10 CFL seasons with the Calgary Stampeders, suffered a hip injury on June 18 in a 32-14 loss to the Toronto Argonauts.
“I'm a little surprised by it but I'm glad to see it. He's a good player. He's good for our league and I'm glad he's healthy and back playing,” said Riders head coach Craig Dickenson. “He’s a very good football player, a dangerous football player, a streaky player. When he's hot, there's nobody better and we're hoping he doesn't get hot against us.”
With Mitchell battling injuries this season, the Tiger-Cats have used Matt Shiltz and Taylor Powell at quarterback. Dickenson said he prepared his defence for all three Hamilton quarterbacks but felt at 15 games into the season, the unit should be prepared for whatever quarterback it faces. With three games left in the regular season, the Riders are trying to hold off the 4-11-0 Stampeders for the final playoff berth in the West. Currently on a four-game losing streak, the Riders are taking some consolation from the fact they still control their own destiny in the playoff battle with Calgary.
