SURREY, B.C. -- The B.C. Lions have lost special teams player Stu Foord indefinitely due to a dislocated knee. "I think thats kind of what occurred," Lions coach Mike Benevides said Monday. "I dont have the terminology for (the dislocation) yet. But thats a fair statement, and now (doctors) are trying to let it all settle down, and trying to manage his pain right now is the biggest thing." Foord was injured in the second quarter of Sundays 24-22 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina. He was blocked by Graig Newman while covering on a B.C. punt. Benevides indicated Foord, a six-year CFL veteran who also plays running back, will face a long recovery period. "I dont think (his return) is going to be any time soon," said Benevides. "Once I get more information, Ill update you (media) guys on that, but I dont see it being a situation where he could play quickly." Foord, a Regina native who turned 28 on Monday, was injured while playing in front of friends and family in his hometown. He was hit from the side and his knee buckled. "Unfortunately, he was planting (his feet) and he was hit from the side," said Benevides. "Those things are going to occur. Its just unfortunate that he was on that play and he got hit from that direction." Benevides and general manager Wally Buono indicated they did not have a problem with the hit, although the returner was a fair distance away and in the process of being taken out of bounds. "Its tough to say," said Benevides of the hits necessity. "The point of attack, the guy thats blocking on the return team, is trying to make a play. Those things kind of happen, and its unfortunate. But, right now, were just praying for (Foord) and, hopefully, the pain will go down a little bit." Buono said he had not studied the play, and could not say whether the hit was illegal, but chalked up the hit to the usual happenings of football. "To me, whether it was a penalty or not a penalty, it doesnt matter," said Buono. "Its football. (The hit) was high. It wasnt like he took his knee out. (Foord) buckled. On the replay, I can see the hit. I can see the knee buckling. ... The play is the play. Its football. Thats why they get paid. I dont think the whistle blew, so hes part of the action." Foord is in his second season with B.C. after signing as a free agent in February 2012. He spent his first four seasons with the Roughriders and also played five seasons of junior football in his hometown with the Regina Thunder. "Hes still in Regina and hes still being looked at by the medical staff and doctors there," said Benevides.
