Craig Dickenson has some tough decisions to make prior to Monday’s game at Mosaic Stadium against the Toronto Argonauts.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders’ head coach said Friday that middle linebacker Solomon Elimimian and receiver Manny Arceneaux are close to being added to the Green and White’s active roster.

“We haven’t made (a decision), but we’ll probably make a decision tonight,” Dickenson said after Friday’s closed practice. “We’ll see what the co-ordinators think and we’ll watch the film and see how they look. I thought they both looked good.”

The former B.C. Lions and high profile free-agent signings haven’t been on the active roster since training camp opened on May 20. Elimimian has battled a calf injury and Arceneaux was recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee that sidelined him for half of the 2018 season.

The Riders would likely have to scratch an international receiver to get Arceneaux on the roster and an international linebacker for Elimimian.
