The 33-year-old suffered the injury in practice on June 6.

Saskatchewan added Young to their negotiation list on February 2 and eventually signed him, but the Riders did not give Young any up-front money on his two-year contract. That would make it easier for the Riders to part ways with the dual-threat QB if that’s the route Jones wants to go.
