“I don’t know if it will be my last game (at Mosaic Stadium) or if there will be any more so I don’t look at the game as being more significant,” Glenn said. “It’s significant because I’m coming back to Saskatchewan for the first since I left (after the 2017 season). It’s still just another game and we will give our thanks to be able to play in that game on a significant day.”

Glenn has also played for the Bombers (2004-08, 2016), Hamilton Tiger-Cats (2009-2011), Calgary Stampeders (2012-13), B.C. Lions (2014) and Montreal Alouettes (2015-2016). The Toronto Argonauts (2004) and Ottawa Redblacks (2014) held Glenn’s rights, but he didn’t play for either team.

He spent the 2017 season with the Riders, starting 17 games while throwing for 4,038 yards (the fourth-highest total of his career) and 25 touchdowns against 14 interceptions.

The Riders released Glenn on Jan. 4, the day after the team traded the 10th-overall pick in the 2018 CFL draft to Hamilton for quarterback Zach Collaros.

Glenn agreed to a one-year deal with the Eskimos on Jan. 15. He signed knowing that he would be an insurance policy for Mike Reilly, who had been named the CFL’s most outstanding player in 2017.

Reilly rarely misses a down, which means Glenn hasn’t played in any of Edmonton’s 14 regular-season contests this season. The role has been a little different for Glenn and that scenario isn’t expected to change Monday.

“I’ve seen a lot of football in the league as far as my experience goes and this is the kind of thing that would take a toll on a different type of person,” Glenn said. “My character is I’m here to help in any way that I can. I help in watching film, offering my advice on things we are doing and being a sounding board for everyone in the room because of my experience.”
