Is there any argument against Hughes as the CFL's best defensive player?



Injuries are always going to be part of sports, but the best teams manage to battle adversity and find ways to win.

Football is one of the most physical sports out there, so teams are always going to have multiple guys sidelines with some sort of injury. In the CFL, some teams have had to deal with more injuries through the first third of the season than others and the Saskatchewan Roughriders are one of those teams.

On Wednesday, the Roughriders departed Regina for Montreal and defensive lineman Charleston Hughes joked about the team’s injury situation.

The Roughriders currently have three guys on the 1-game injured list and 10 guys on the 6-game injured list, on top of leading receiver Shaq Evans getting the questionable tag on Wednesday, so the CFL’s sack leader has a point.

Saskatchewan heads into Montreal riding a three-game winning streak and are just one win out of top spot in the West Division.
