CFL injuries

[Blueforlife]

The Blue Bombers now have a league-high 13 players on the six-game injured list, including star receivers Kenny Lawler and Dalton Schoen

lol. You always ask questions for which there are no answers.

Oh, there are answers alright... it's just us peons aren't privy to them.

I was at the game and report that Neuf was injured. He limped off the field and it looked like the trainer was looking at his knee. A little surprised that it's a 6 game injury.

See, that's is useful forum-only info.  I saw & brokedown the play & limp-off, but only someone actually in TOR for the game could get the sideline details.

And now it's been reported it is his knee, it only confirms my guess and what Pigskin saw.

Toronto release Canadian DL Joseph. Calgary releases American MLB Diego Fagot, 6'3" 247. Could be a good PR pickup.

He has already washed out of 2 teams this year.  There must be something fundamentally wrong with him, as his physical attributes keep getting him looks but then they all pass.

Never know, could be ratio or an over-supply of talent in one position.  Ratio is the excuse the Argos used to cut Bailey, but have to think they would offer him a PR spot before doing that, which he was may have been too proud to accept.

The guys name is Fagot?

Correct.

Likely French; might be pronounced "Fa-Joe".

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Correct.

Like the. Town. Minot, North Dakota.  Probably discovered by French fur traders, and it is really called, "minn-noe?

Ayers, Kolo and Johnson all were pulled briefly in the game this week. I think they all returned. Ayers and Johnson were pulled for concussion protocol.

Kolo came up limping but I think he returned shortly afterwards?

Did we survive this game without losing more players to 6 game IR?

The bye gives us time to evaluate current players on 6 game IR that might be ready to return. I'm not sure if there are any besides Lawler that might fall into that category.

Haba came off 6 game IR and was moved to 1 game IR. In theory he could well be a candidate to be added to the AR for Aug 18 against the Lions.

We don't have an import on defence that isn't playing well ( on at least ST's ), so I'm not sure who might come off if he comes on.

This would be the time frame where we could see a couple of new faces brought in for the PR. NFL will be releasing some players soon.

Are you thinking we could pick up some Oline help here? Of course, all CFL teams will be looking to improve so it could get expensive.

Not specifically thinking of any positional players. Just thinking the " pool " of available choices increases.

OL generally take a full TC and / or longer to develop. Our long term plan probably isn't staying at 3 import OL but I suppose that could change.

OTOH we've been hard hit at the LB position so that might be an area to add a new candidate. It really depends on how long Cole and Wilson will really be out.

It boils down to who is available to consider, whether we need help at that position or not. There may be a neg list for example that comes free. PR players coming in mid season are here mostly for auditions for TC 2025 unless there are a bunch more injuries.

Hmmmm. A look at a new punter maybe? lol

Argos lose McManis and Hansen to 6 game IR.
