Trevor Harris to undergo surgery for knee injury, return not ruled out

The CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders will be without Trevor Harris for the foreseeable future.

Saskatchewan announced the 37-year-old quarterback suffered a fractured tibial plateau in his right knee in the fourth quarter of the Riders’ 33-31 loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday.

Harris was forced from the pocket and took off running to try and pick up a first down with the Riders trailing 20-17. As he was getting tackled, his leg got rolled on as he twisted to the ground. He immediately grabbed his knee in pain and subsequently was carted off.

The team said he will undergo surgery in Regina but will not rule out a return at some point in the season.

Harris threw for 1,272 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions in five games with the Riders this season.

Mason Fine will be the starter moving forward. Fine threw for 116 yards and two touchdowns in relief of Harris in the loss to Calgary.
