Saskatchewan Riders quarterback Darian Durant 'ecstatic' to play again

Posted Jun 28, 2016
Monday marked one year to the day that quarterback Darian Durant ruptured his Achilles tendon. It's an injury he's trying to forget, he said. "I'm over the hurdle, I feel good and I'm ready to roll." Durant will play his first official game in the Roughriders' season-opener since he was sidelined for all of 2015. "I'm ecstatic," he said. "It's been a long time coming, so I can't wait to get out here." (CBC News)
