Stampeders receiver Malik Henry says he ruptured his Achilles

Jun 25, 2023 | 3:58 PM

Calgary Stampeders wide receiver Malik Henry announced Sunday on Twitter that he ruptured his Achilles during Saturday’s loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The recovery time for a ruptured Achilles can take from four to six months, ruling him out for at least the rest of the regular season.

Henry had four catches for 92 yards on Saturday before he was carted off due to a non-contact injury in the fourth quarter.

The 26-year-old from Tifton, Ga., had 62 receptions for 1,023 yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games last season, earning West Division All-Star honours.

Henry signed a three-year extension with the Stampeders last October.
