Argonauts Name Jarret Doege Starter for Friday vs. Alouettes

The promotion follows Nick Arbuckle's calf setback with Chad Kelly still unavailable on the six-game list.

Overview

  • Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie confirmed the decision after Wednesday’s practice ahead of the home game at BMO Field.
  • The start is Doege’s first with Toronto and second in the CFL after he led a 31-30 win over Edmonton with a last-play field-goal drive.
  • Arbuckle, who has started all 13 games and leads the league in passing yards, is expected to miss two to three weeks with a calf injury.
  • Kelly remains out as he recovers from last season’s tibia and fibula fractures, and the team has not removed him from the six-game list to resume practice.
  • Montreal will start former Argo McLeod Bethel-Thompson after a 379-yard, three-touchdown return, and with the Alouettes at 6-7 holding the season-series edge over 5-8 Toronto, rookie Tucker Horn serves as Doege’s backup.
