CFL release extends rough ride for Young

The comeback attempt by former NFL and University of Texas quarterback Vince Young has hit a roadblock.

Young was cut by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League on Saturday after suffering a torn hamstring during training camp, according to his agent, Leigh Steinberg.

Young was expected to be sidelined from four to six weeks.

The former Pro Bowl quarterback hasn’t played in a regular-season game since 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 33-year-old was signed to a one-year contract with a team option for a second season.

A former blue-chip recruit at Madison High School, Young led the Longhorns to a dramatic national championship victory over USC in the Rose Bowl.

In six NFL seasons, Young passed for 8,964 yards, 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions for a 74.4 career passer rating after being drafted third overall by the Titans in 2006.
