This is Hughes’ second nod during the 2019 season as a top performer of the month after being recognized in July.

The native of Saginaw, Mich., currently leads the league with 15 sacks. His career-best is 18, which he set with the Calgary Stampeders in 2013.

Hughes is in his 12th season in the league and second with Saskatchewan. He has recorded a total of 129 sacks in his CFL career and won two Grey Cup rings while playing with the Stampeders in 2008 and 2014.
