Amateur hour though, no question.
what i dont get is why are the reporters getting this out without the team's official statement?

Team's official site and social media should be the ones giving notice

REC Anthony Parker left the field unable to put any weight on his right leg. Non-contact injury. Where he was pointing to it might be an Achilles injury. Stay tuned. #Eskimos #CFL

Was likely the frontrunner for the open starting defensive end job.
Looks like his knee, just brutal

Folarin Orimolade is down on the field and he looks to be in considerable pain.

That's a pretty nice toss from Arbuckle to Brescacin.

That looked like a TD to me (all you need to do is break the front plane of the goal line).

Edit: Arbuckle punches it in.

Not a great start for the Mexican kicker - Misses the convert and then get tagged for a delay of game. Oh well, it's pre-season, plenty of time to get this stuff ironed out.

Unlike the players, the Riders fans are already in mid-season form.

Pfft. This is exactly what I expect the Riders to look like come mid season. Collaros on the sidelines, the offence sputtering, the D barely holding us in it and we only win if the D scores or we come up big on special teams.

I find it very strange that, with only 2 pre season games, Collaros isnt even taking a snap tonight.

Just a weird decision IMO.
