The Saskatchewan Roughriders activated Darian Durant from the injured reserve on Wednesday in order for the veteran quarterback to participate in practice.

Durant returned to practice Monday for the first time since injuring his elbow nearly two months ago. He took part in individual drills but did not participate in any team drill.

Head coach Corey Chamblin announced at practice Tuesday that veteran Kerry Joseph would get the start in their regular season finale against the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday.

The Roughriders have clinched a playoff spot but it's still to be determined if they will play in the West Division Semi-Final against the Edmonton Eskimos or cross over and play in the East Division Semi-Final.
