Saskatchewan Roughrider head coach Ken Miller released the following statement regarding the playing future of receiver Matt Dominguez.
“Over the past several weeks, we have had numerous questions regarding Matt Dominguez and the upcoming season. Making a decision in this matter has been a very complex process, as we have attempted to strike a balance between our profound respect for Matt and our health related concerns, given his unfortunate history of knee injuries. Matt is far more than just a football player in the eyes of this organization. He is a highly respected person who, along with his family, has invested significantly in our community, living here year round. He is, and always will be, beloved by the Rider Nation.”
“Regarding his most recent knee surgery, to Matt’s full credit, he has worked very hard this off season, making substantial progress. And, our medical staff has done an outstanding job of keeping us up to date relative to his improvement. At this time, however, we feel the prudent decision is to enter training camp with the strong group of young talent we have assembled, and make any further decisions, if needed, after evaluating our new group very carefully.”
“In making this decision, we are not closing the door completely on Matt’s career with the Roughriders; but, if he should choose to pursue an opportunity elsewhere, Matt will certainly do so with our gratitude and very best wishes.”
