CFL star rusher Jerome Messam takes wait-and-see approach to playing Sunday
Calgary Stampeders running back Jerome Messam says he’ll be a game-time decision Sunday against the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Canadian Football League’s leading rusher took a hard hit to the back of his helmet in the third quarter of in Saturday’s 27-13 win over the B.C. Lions. Messam left the game and did not return.
Lions linebacker Micah Awe, who registered the hit, received the league’s maximum fine for leading with the crown of his helmet.
“I feel the league took a stance to try and protect players,” Messam told reporters Thursday.
