As much as you can criticize some of Glen Suitor's commentary, I think he nailed it on the head when he said that Rourke looked like someone who hasn't played in a game in over 600 days. I know it isn't completely the same, but Kelly has not played competitively since the East final. SSK is a solid team, and their Corey Mace led defence is going to want to make a statement. While Kelly has shown he is a gifted athlete, he has also shown he is immature and I have some concerns if he starts and tries pushing it too hard. The last thing we need is an inglorious or mistake-filled return for him.

Was anyone at practice, even media, to check on if Kelly is the definite starter?

Sounds like Dinwiddie has the same concerns as he admitted after Monday's practice that Rourke's struggles on Sunday have affected how he plans to deploy Kelly against the Roughriders.
