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.
