The Saskatchewan Roughriders have listed star receiver Duke Williams as questionable for Friday’s game against the Ottawa Redblacks due to a hip injury.

The 29-year-old missed the club’s game against Edmonton in Week 2 due to an ankle injury and was out for a portion of Saskatchewan’s win over the Montreal Alouettes in Week 4 due to injury as well.

Williams has caught nine passes this season for 159 yards and one touchdown with a long of 45 yards. He did not make a catch last week despite being targeted five times by franchise quarterback Cody Fajardo.
