Vince Young Suffers Torn Hamstring Injury, Will Miss Start of 2017 CFL Season

Former NFL quarterback Vince Young suffered a torn hamstring that will force him to miss the start of the Saskatchewan Roughriders' CFL season, according to ESPN.com. 

Young is expected to be out four to six weeks. 

In March, the Roughriders signed the former Texas Longhorns standout to a two-year deal with a second-year option. 

"I wouldn't say a comeback. I'd just say an opportunity," Young said upon signing, according to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). "I always wanted to play football again, but didn't know how it was going to happen. God always works in mysterious ways."

Now 34 years old and six years removed from his last NFL appearance, Young is likely to miss at least the first three games of the CFL season.

The Roughriders will open their 2017 campaign June 22 against the Montreal Alouettes.
