KAMLOOPS — Kamloops Broncos alumnus Derek Yachison has been officially ruled out of the B.C. Lions first preseason game on Saturday in Saskatchewan. 

Yachison injured his knee at training camp on Tuesday when he crashed to the turf in the endzone. He’s experienced swelling in his knees and has been receiving treatment on a daily basis. 

But his rehabilitation was coming along too slow for the Lions to bring him to Regina, where he would’ve played his first CFL game.
