Quavian White returns for Hamilton Tiger-Cats against Roughriders
by 3Down Staff August 14, 2026
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have defensive back Quavian White back in the starting lineup when they host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday evening. The team issued its official depth chart on Friday.
The 26-year-old native of Greer, S.C. has made five starts at field-side halfback this season, recording 20 defensive tackles and one sack. He missed Hamilton's last three games due to a hamstring injury.
The five-foot-nine, 187-pound defender was a collegiate standout at Georgia State University, where he earned three All-Sun Belt selections. He spent the 2023 season with the Arizona Cardinals before joining the Tiger-Cats late the following year.
Devodric Bynum, who started in White's place the past three games, has been moved to the reserve roster. The former member of the Edmonton Elks has made 17 defensive tackles and one interception over six regular-season games with Hamilton this year.
The Tiger-Cats have made one other roster change this week, as Canadian defensive lineman Charbel Dabire has been placed on the one-game injured list.
The six-foot, 300-pound defender has tallied three defensive tackles over five regular-season games this year. He is dealing with an arm injury.
In a corresponding move, Hamilton has promoted Canadian defensive lineman Aamarii Notice from the practice roster.
The Toronto native was the team's seventh-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft. He has made four defensive tackles over three regular-season games so far this year.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-6) will host the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-2) at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday, August 15 with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Roughriders easily beat the Ottawa Redblacks last week, while the Tiger-Cats suffered a narrow loss to the B.C. Lions.
The weather forecast in Hamilton calls for 24 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 620 CKRM in Regina or the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton.

Star Thomas to debut at running back for Saskatchewan Roughriders in Week 11
by 3Down Staff August 14, 2026
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will have a new face in the backfield for their Week 11 matchup with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Star Thomas is slated to make his CFL debut on Saturday as the team's starting running back. The six-foot, 210-pound ball-carrier was signed by the Riders on June 24 and has remained on the practice roster to date.
Thomas played his final collegiate season at the University of Tennessee in 2025, where he rushed 104 times for 596 yards with seven touchdowns, and caught 11 passes for 116 yards and two scores. He previously suited up for Duke University, New Mexico State University, and Coffeyville Community College.
The 24-year-old will step into the lineup after Quali Conley aggravated a nagging hamstring injury and was placed on the one-game injured list. In four games this season, the rookie back has carried 40 times for 191 yards and a touchdown, while catching seven passes for 60 yards.
Conley was playing in place of veteran A.J. Ouellette, who is currently on the six-game injured list.
The remainder of Saskatchewan's starting lineup will stay intact from last week. The only other change will see backup Canadian offensive lineman Jez Janvier return to the practice roster, with newly signed Canadian receiver Vyshonne Janusas drawing into the lineup.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-2) will visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (3-6) at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday, August 15, with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Roughriders easily beat the Ottawa Redblacks last week, while the Tiger-Cats suffered a narrow loss to the B.C. Lions.
The weather forecast in Hamilton calls for 24 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on 620 CKRM in Regina or the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton.

Because it bumps the topic.
The thread was started a few days prior.
Frost looks ok, but I get the feeling Sask. is toying with the Ti-Cats trying to make the game look close.
Wheatfall just made the catch of the week, Lawler like even.
Shocker, Riders about to lose to Trey Ford, Riderfans will be going ballistic.
QuoteWheatfall just made the catch of the week, Lawler like even.
Good thing we let him go, he has the catch of the year and Wilson drops a sure thing. Pretty much sums up 2026 for us.

We let Wheatfall go to sign White who has more yards and TDs in fewer games.

AND it let's us know to scroll up and look at the edited posts. Otherwise the "NEW" button won't "see" them.
I love all the effort gbg puts into these things (and videos thread). Although, if I'm greedy, I would make 1 extra request: post the bottom parts of the charts too, or just list/summarize (in text form) the in/out bit. in/out is the most (only?) important part of the charts if you follow every team week to week.

Wheatie dropped a sure thing later in the game. All he had to do was dive for it again. Ya, not as easy as the Pokey drop, but still catchable.
The problem with Wheatie is he's like Kenny-lite. You don't need 2 of those guys on a team. You need differentiation in talents. We liked Pokey better (and we were correct), and that's ok.
How about both Wheatie and Myron getting their 1st HAM TDs, eh? Always good to see our scouting finds doing ok.
HAHAHA EAT IT SSK!
This was their trap game. And a true trap game too, because they couldn't lose. I wonder what the betting odds were. Some people lost a lot of money on the sure thing, and some people made a ton of easy $ on HAM.
In some ways it's more embarrassing than our BC loss to Salter. Our was embarrassing, as 4th in the W is supposed to beat 5th in the W with no QB, but this is SUPER EMBARRASSING for SSK because they are #2 in the league (yes, they are better than EDM) and GC champs! Facing a 2nd-worst team with no real QB!
There are some CKRM callers vibrating tonight, that's for sure.
Thanks for doing us a solid HAM! Always nice to see an East team beat our div rivals.
Everyone needs to note all the cheating SSK does. Boy I hope we get ref Cmdr Data (McInnes) when we face SSK -- he doesn't put up with all that SSK crap.
I'm talking all the little OL movements they do on ST and SY plays. They are hand moving, head nodding, body leaning by that OL; and no I'm not talking the C. They do little twitch things to try to draw the D to get the free conversion.
Refs got 1 right, but got another one wrong.
We must coach our guys up on not falling for their cheating.
The absolute craziest thing right now is we are one win away from tying SSK -- both of us with 9 GP.
Who would have thought that 3 weeks ago?? If only WPG could suddenly be good/great, we could actually win the W!
No team this year is invincible. We just have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot and we can beat any team.

So sick of that BS, hope they make attempts to draw offside into delay of game penalties next season. Mace comes off as the sleaziest operator in the CFL and I now despise Tommy Stevens more than any human alive not named Trump.
Wheatfall is thriving with Lawler drawing coverages.
But on that "catch of the week", two issues.
One, it hit the ground, it was a trapped ball. Most of the views shielded the hands, but one showed it plain as day.
Two, he removed his bucket to celebrate. That's "objectionable conduct" every day of the week in the CFL. No call.
Ford pulled a rabbit out of the hat, and Harris pooped the bed while Ford did his magic.
Now who starts in Hamilton? If Frost is out for injury, Ford is a no brainer. But if Frost is cleared, what do thy do? Frost looked good until he went out, but Ford was better.
Can you sit Frost after injury?
Funny that Ford is the only Hammy QB to win a game since BLM went down and he's now won 2.

That game seemed significantly odd, no emotion from either side over the Ti-Cat win, it just happened.
Frost was pulled for undisclosed reason or unseen injury???
Milanovich gambles on 3rd and 6 from around the Rider 38 and turns the ball over when 3 pts. would have put them within a TD of the Riders.
Careful and studious Trevor Harris throwing interceptions indiscriminately in the last 5 minutes until a Ti-Cat DB was finally able to hold onto one and seal the Riders fate, oh well.
I'm polishing my tin-foil hat now in preparation of the Rourke/Alexander Grey Cup Showdown in the fall. Don't know how, but somehow....

I was wondering the same thing when Wheatfall pulled off his helmet. I thought that was an automatic penalty.

It is, and should have been called.
I believe Wheatfall's reception was legitimate as it was caught in the end zone thus reviewed by the Command Centre plus I never saw it touch the ground.
It was a nice catch but extended like that, simple physics say the momentum of the ball drives it into the turf, but whatever, it was a scoring play so CC reviewed and said it was legit, no surprise there if they get it wrong. The thing that miffed me and others, is he can't rip his helmet off and give the death stare to everyone, that's an OC all day long and it wasn't called so lots wasn't called on that play.

Don't see nearly as many helmets popping off this season, I guess rule change forced them to strap them on tighter.
I'll review the circus td again. Looked ok to me so far.
Remember, if there's any bias it will be towards MORE SHOW. Johnston mandates more show. There's been a couple of non TDS called as TDS this season. There was one last week where the dudes hand is actually touching the rail before the cone.
I think the only way they'll overturn a called td under Johnston is if it's clear and obvious in full speed.

I find this very interesting. What's the cause? Certainly lots of run plays. I also think both teams were trying to shorten the game, doing max clock bleed.
SSK doing it because a shorter game gives the wildcard underdog team less chances to get lucky. HAM doing it because they were able to stay close and not wanting to give SSK time to do their dink and dunk.
