Andy Fantuz Done for the Season

Andy Fantuz’ up and down season has come to an end. Multiple news sources including TSN are reporting that due to a high ankle sprain, Fantuz will not return to the Saskatchewan Roughriders lineup this season.

Saskatchewan has two regular season games left, one at home against Hamilton, and their season finale in Edmonton. The Roughriders however, are already eliminated from playoff contention.

Fantuz started the season as a member of the Chicago Bears. After sticking with the Bears throughout training camp and much of the NFL preseason, Fantuz was cut by the team. After returning to the CFL, Fantuz suffered a high ankle sprain, an injury that has lingered.

A year removed from being the CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian, and leading the league in receiving yards, Fantuz totalled only 13 catches for 175 yards in four games this season.

Fantuz will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
