Football: Mac's Lumsden looking down a long road

No one but no one is rooting against former McMaster running back Jesse Lumsden being unable to resume playing in the CFL. A gut feeling is it does not sound promising.

"The first-year Edmonton Eskimos running back will also stay away from any physical contact for the next six months as he recovers from a shoulder dislocation suffered in the first game of the CFL season.

" 'It feels as good as it can be, two weeks post-op now. I feel confident, I feel positive and I’m starting to workout again,' said Lumsden, who returned to Edmonton on Wednesday night and spoke to media for the first time since his surgery."
