Trent Richardson originally travelled east with the Riders in advance of their game against Ottawa.

While Saskatchewan came back and got a win in the nation’s capital, Richardson tended to a personal family matter in Florida. He has made his way back north of the border and the Alabama product will be back for regular practice this week as the green and white prepare to travel to Toronto in Week 16.

Richardson is making a pro-rated $67,500 for the remainder of the 2017 season.
