The six-foot-three, 228-pound receiver practised with the starters on Tuesday. He signed an extension with Saskatchewan on September 10.

Williams-Lambert rejoined the Riders after being among the final training camp cuts with the Chicago Bears, but didn’t suit up in Week 14 when Saskatchewan beat Montreal or Week 16 in Toronto.

Last season, Williams-Lambert caught 62 passes for 764 yards and four touchdowns. The impressive campaign led to Williams-Lambert being named the West Division Most Outstanding Rookie.

The Riders put a physical, big bodied target on the field for quarterback Cody Fajardo.
