Collaros hid preseason injury from Riders staff
The struggling Riders offence is getting a bit of a boost.
Quarterback Zach Collaros was taken off the six-game injured list a few weeks earlier than expected, after being sidelined with a concussion in the second week of the season.
It was widely believed Collaros suffered the concussion in that Week 2 game against the Redblacks, but the quarterback admitted Monday that he had been injured during the preseason.
“(The concussion) was really a carryover of something that happened prior and something that I should have talked to the training staff about in the preseason — something that I sustained in that game and I kept it a secret,” Collaros told reporters after his first practice back on Monday.
