Roughriders’ Durant savouring his return to the field
The Roughriders have been without star quarterback Darian Durant for a year and a half – and their record showed it.
The team went 3-15 without Durant at the helm, after he tore his Achilles tendon in the first game of the 2015 season.
Durant said that injury, while tough initially, gave him a new outlook on the game.
“When you take a step and your Achilles pops on you, you kind of put things into perspective and you realize you need to enjoy each and every day, each and every practice, meeting, film session … I just take it one hour at a time, one day at a time and enjoy every moment,” he said after his first day of training camp.
