TORONTO–Quarterback Chad Kelly and the Toronto Argonauts face a stiff test Monday night.

Rhymes has 12 catches for 172 yards and three TDs this year. Hatcher registered 70 catches for 1,043 yards and five TDs last season.Running back Taquan Mizzell, who ran for 50 yards on 10 carries versus Winnipeg, didn’t practise Thursday due to a knee injury but was a full participant later in the week and will play. The Lions will be minus receiver Lucky Whitehead .

Toronto counters with a very solid ground game. The Argos are averaging a CFL-best 152 yards rushing after finishing last in 2022 with 81.7 yards per game and running for just nine TDs. “We’ve got to run the football because if they know we’re throwing it, they’re getting after the quarterback and their secondary is very aggressive and plays well in man coverage,” Dinwiddie said. “They’re getting there without bringing secondary pressure.”

Also on Monday, Toronto will add quarterback Damon Allen and receiver Derrell Mitchell as all-time Argos.Advertisement 5“Toronto is very, very good and to beat anybody, especially on the road, you have to play very well and that’s we’ve been trying to do,” said Lions head coach/co-GM Rick Campbell. “I like that our players understand how hard it is to win and there’s going to be ups and downs in a game but if we just keep battling we can find a way to win.
