Argonauts' Chad Kelly Hints at Sept. 13 Return as Team Resumes Practice

Coach Ryan Dinwiddie says the call will hinge on medical clearance rather than the standings.

Overview

  • Kelly posted a video titled 'The Comeback' that ended with the date Sept. 13, 2025, pointing to a possible return when Toronto hosts Edmonton.
  • The 31-year-old quarterback has not played this season after fracturing his right tibia and fibula in last year's East Division final.
  • He opened the season on the one-game injured list, moved to the six-game list in late July, and has been variously listed as limited or not practicing.
  • Dinwiddie has kept Kelly on a week-to-week timeline and has reiterated that the team will not accelerate his return based on Toronto's record.
  • With Kelly out, Nick Arbuckle has started every game and leads the CFL in passing yards, helping keep the 4-8 Argonauts in the East playoff race with six games remaining.
