Moore used a triple move to elude defensive back Crezdon Butler for a long reception, and later raced by Butler for another nice catch.

The Riders’ national receivers are taking a beating in the early days of camp.

Justin McInnis and Brayden Lenius, the Riders’ two top picks in the 2019 CFL draft, are both sidelined with hamstring injuries. Lenius could be sidelined for two weeks. There isn’t a timetable for McInnis’s first on-field appearance.

Regina product Mitchell Picton is dealing with an undisclosed injury, but may be ready to go by the weekend. Patrick Lavoie is in Saskatoon, but has yet to practise.

The absences left Cory Watson as the lone national receiver on the field Monday.

LABOUR TALK

Sunday’s opening session was delayed for about 15 minutes while players huddled inside their locker room for an update on the new collective-bargaining agreement. Monday’s session started on time and without any interruptions.

Charleston Hughes (the Riders’ CFL Players’ Association representative), Riders linebacker Solomon Elimimian and Winnipeg Blue Bombers long-snapper Chad Rempel conducted the meeting while outlining the CBA.

The players were expected to conduct a ratification vote electronically on Monday. The league’s board of governors has yet to approve the CBA.
