Star receiver Bryan Burnham returns to practice with B.C. Lions

Bryan Burnham has returned to practice with the B.C. Lions for the first time since suffering broken ribs in Week 3.

The three-time CFL all-star left the team’s blowout win over the Toronto Argonauts after sustaining a hit over the middle from defensive back Shaquille Richardson. He has since missed four games with the Lions going 3-1 in his absence.

Burnham made six catches for 66 yards and one touchdown over two starts this season. He was replaced at boundary slotback by second-year target Keon Hatcher, who made 27 catches for 331 yards and one touchdown over four starts in place of Burnham.

The Tulsa product sits fifth all-time in club history with 6,682 career receiving yards to go along with 441 receptions and 39 touchdowns.

The Lions (5-1) are scheduled to host the Edmonton Elks (2-5) on Saturday night with kickoff slated for 10:00 p.m. EDT.
