Prayer helps Simpson's recovery

"The middle linebacker with the Saskatchewan Roughriders has been nursing a rib injury since the CFL team returned to practice on Sunday. Simpson was considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the visiting Winnipeg Blue Bombers. On Thursday, Simpson returned to his familiar position as the team's starting middle linebacker.

"I told (Saskatchewan's director of athletic therapy) Ivan Gutfriend and the coaches that I would be going into the prayer closet on Wednesday and when I came out, I would be ready to go,'' said Simpson, who is a minister during the offseason and is nicknamed the Minister of Defence. "I feel good and I thank God for that.''"
