Daniels, though, presents a different threat when he’s streaking down the sideline and leaving defenders in his dust.

The 24-year-old caught four balls for 90 yards in Week 1, suggesting that he was ready to pick up where he left off at the end of his rookie season. Seeing him walk off the field holding his shoulder tempered the excitement somewhat, but Daniels said it wasn’t long before he realized he probably wouldn’t need a long recovery.

“The day after I was able to still move my shoulder around and get some range,” Daniel said. “The very next day I had some strength coming back and every day it was getting better and better, so it was looking pretty good for me in my head.

“I was jokingly telling them I’d be back in two weeks, and here we are.”

TRYING OUT O-LINE

When Randy Colling makes his first appearance in a Calgary Stampeders uniform, it may not be at the position where anyone originally expected him to play.

Colling was selected as a defensive lineman in the first round of the 2017 CFL Draft, but on Monday he was suiting up on the offensive side of the ball.

“I decided with our injuries – we lost two guys last week – it needs to be done and if I can get him on the roster as a tweener, a guy that can play both sides … I want to get a look at him on the offensive line,” Dickenson said. “Certainly not a longterm thing, but something I felt was worth it for right now and we’ll see where it goes from there.”

Colling said he had told the Stampeders that he would play on both the offensive and defensive lines when he was interviewed by coaches prior to the draft, and while he’s spent most of his career on the defensive side of the ball he did spend some time on the o-line when he was with the Buffalo Bills in 2014.
