The Toronto Argonauts will be without Canadian linebacker Cameron Judge when they visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday.
The 31-year-old has been placed on the one-game injured list with a head injury, though it remains unclear what the timeline for his recovery will be.
“I don’t really like to talk about injuries too much,” said head coach Mike Miller on Wednesday. “I only go week-to-week.”
The Montreal native has made 11 defensive tackles and four special teams tackles through four starts this season. The nine-year veteran has made 446 defensive tackles, 30 special teams tackles, 18 sacks, nine forced fumbles, seven interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns over 122 career regular-season games.
According to the official depth chart the Argonauts released on Thursday morning, Judge will be replaced at weak-side linebacker by Owen Goss. The six-foot, 202-pound defender has made two defensive tackles, one special teams tackle, and one forced fumble over four regular-season games in a depth role this year.
Dakoda Shepley has returned to the starting lineup at right guard after missing last week’s loss to the Calgary Stampeders. He did not practice on Monday or Tuesday due to a back injury, and was a limited participant on Wednesday.
Canadian offensive lineman Keegan O’Neil, Canadian linebacker Jalen Rayam, and American defensive back Bubba Bolden have each been added to the active roster in depth roles. Bolden has been listed as the backup to Ethan John, who will make his first career start at safety.
Anthony Wilson, who started the team’s last two games at safety, has been moved to the practice roster.
The Toronto Argonauts (2-2) will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-2) at Princess Auto Stadium on Friday, July 10 with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts are coming off a 58-36 loss to the Calgary Stampeders, while the Blue Bombers overcame an injury to Zach Collaros to narrowly beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The weather forecast in Winnipeg calls for a high of 29 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 1050 in Toronto and 680 CJOB in Winnipeg.
