Stampeders Seek Redemption After Tough Loss
The Calgary Stampeders will look to get back on track this weekend as they host the Toronto Argonauts at McMahon Stadium. Calgary is coming off a disappointing loss to the BC Lions, and they'll be shorthanded in the secondary with several key injuries.
Safety Damon Webb will miss his second straight game with a pectoral issue, while cornerback Anthony Johnson (shoulder) and halfback Lance Robinson (shoulder) have also been ruled out. That means the Stampeders will have to rely on some new faces in the defensive backfield, including global player Bailey Devine-Scott who will make his second start at safety.
Argos Struggling to Find Consistency
For the Argonauts, it's been a season to forget so far. Toronto sits at the bottom of the CFL standings with a 3-14 record, and they'll be playing for pride in their final game of the year against the Stampeders.
The Argos will be without their top pass rusher, as defensive end Andrew Chatfield Jr. has been ruled out with a foot injury. This presents an opportunity for some of Toronto's younger players to step up and make an impression heading into the offseason.
TL;DR
- Calgary Stampeders looking to bounce back from tough loss to BC Lions
- Stampeders dealing with injuries in the secondary, forcing them to turn to new faces
- Toronto Argonauts struggling to a 3-14 record, will be without top pass rusher Chatfield Jr. in season finale
