LaBatte, Richardson and Marshall out for Riders in East Final

Saskatchewan will once again be without some key offensive players for the second straight playoff game.

Chris Jones confirms no Brendon Labatte for the EDF. Nor Cameron Marshall or Trent Richardson.

LaBatte started all 18 regular season games for Saskatchewan at left guard and centre, but he was carted off the field in Week 20 and that lower body injury will keep him out of the East Final. 2016 Most Outstanding Lineman Derek Dennis took his place in the East semifinal and should do so again Sunday at BMO Field.

Marshall and Richardson, who was in a walking boot after the Montreal game, sit for another game after missing the East semi. Marcus Thigpen could be the feature back again after rushing for 169 yards and one touchdown which went for 75 yards in the victory over Ottawa.
