Overview

  • Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie confirmed Coxie missed the week of practice and will sit against B.C., adding the club hopes for a return next week while prioritizing his health.
  • DaVaris Daniels moves to Coxie’s wide receiver spot and Jake Herslow starts at slotback after posting 122 yards and two touchdowns on nine catches over the past two games.
  • Quarterback Nick Arbuckle leads the CFL in completions and ranks near the top in yards and touchdowns as Toronto leans on a pass-heavy offence despite the league’s worst rushing output.
  • Toronto (2-8) hosts B.C. (5-5) at BMO Field, where Nathan Rourke pilots a unit leading the CFL in net offence and passing yards with Keon Hatcher, Justin McInnis and rusher James Butler driving production.
  • Wynton McManis will play, Jordan Williams is available, and Ryan Hunter and Chad Kelly were limited in practice and remain on the six-game list as special-teams coverage remains a concern after four return touchdowns allowed.
