Late last month, Andy Fantuz was released by the NFL’s Chicago Bears who he had signed with in hopes of sparking an NFL career. After being released, Fantuz wasted little time returning to practice with the Roughriders and will look to pick up where he left off last season as the CFL’s leading receiver.

Currently, the Roughriders are tied for last overall in the CFL with the Toronto Argonauts with a 2-7 record. Their opponent Sunday, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have the CFL’s best winning percentage sitting at 7-2, however, the last week the Roughriders beat Winnipeg 27-7.

Fantuz’ return to the Saskatchewan Roughriders will be televised nationally on TSN at 4:00pm.
