Riders quarterback Durant almost fully recovered from Achilles injury
TORONTO — Darian Durant has some good news for Saskatchewan Roughriders fans.
The veteran quarterback said Tuesday he’s 95 per cent recovered from the season-ending Achilles tendon injury he suffered in Saskatchewan’s first game last year. Durant added he had no leg problems during Saskatchewan’s mini-camp in Florida last week.
“I’m almost there,” said Durant, in town to do some promotional shoots for the upcoming CFL season. “I had a great off-season in Atlanta working with some great trainers and physical therapists.
“It’s about building volume in the leg, being able to withstand high intensity for three, three-and-a-half hours of a football game.”
