Romar Morris returns to football following long recovery from injury

Posted Jul 23, 2019

Only eight months after he tore his Achilles tendon while attempting to field a punt in the West Division Final, Morris returned to the field with his Calgary Stampeders teammates for his first practice of the 2019 season on Sunday.
