The Saskatchewan Roughriders enter Saturday’s Week 4 matchup against the BC Lions with a perfect 3-0 record good for first place in the CFL West — but they’ll need a win to stay ahead of the surging Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who moved to 3-0 with a 36-23 win over Edmonton on Thursday night.
The Roughriders have a big question mark entering the game. Quarterback Trevor Harris was once again listed as questionable on Thursday's team injury report with a head/illness issue. Seven Roughriders are already listed as out for the game, including receiver Samuel Emilus.
Thankfully the Roughriders are at home as the injury concerns amount. The team opened their season at home with a 31-26 win against Ottawa in Week 1 and then played two straight weeks in Ontario winning 28-23 against Hamilton in Week 2, and then in Toronto delivering a 39-32 last minute win in regulation.

There are two games sandwiched between the Roughriders return home Saturday. Friday Night Football sees undefeated Montreal visiting Hamilton without starting quarterback Davis Alexander, and then on Sunday Toronto takes on Ottawa to close out Week 4.
