Sheritt was hurt early in the second quarter of the Eskimos’ Week 1 win over B.C., pulling up in the middle of the field despite being untouched. He was carried from the turf at B.C. Place, then taken to the dressing room in a cart after getting some encouraging words from head coach Jason Maas. His reaction said it all.
