Cody Fajardo will play in Sunday’s West Division final.

However, the Saskatchewan Roughriders haven’t decided whether the team’s franchise quarterback and the 2019 CFL leader in passing yards will start against the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers with a Grey Cup berth on the line.

“I don’t know if he will start, but he’ll be dressed as one of our three quarterbacks and he will play,” Riders head coach Dickenson said after Friday’s practice at Mosaic Stadium.

Fajardo is still recovering from oblique muscle injury that he suffered during a practice on Oct. 30.

He missed the Riders’ 23-13 win over the Edmonton Eskimos on Nov. 2 that clinched first place in the West Division for the Green and White. Rookie Isaac Harker filled in for Fajardo, completing 23 of 28 passes for 213 yards without any touchdowns or interceptions.

Harker will likely start if Fajardo doesn’t. Bryan Bennett, the third-string quarterback, would also see action.
