Long road ahead for Darian Durant after Achilles injury

Posted Jul 2, 2015
The dust has settled from the Roughriders' difficult start to the regular season after losing franchise quarterback Darian Durant for the rest of the season. Durant ruptured his Achilles on an innocent-looking play late in the second quarter against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. "It's not career ending, there's no doubt about that. It's season ending, that's for sure," said general manager Brendan Taman. (News Talk 980 CJME)
