Redblacks' All-CFL receiver Justin Hardy healthy for East Semi-Final
By 3Down Staff -November 1, 2024

The Ottawa Redblacks will have one of the CFL's top weapons back in the fold when they take to the field for the East Semi-Final.

After dipping in and out of the lineup the past three weeks with an ankle injury, veteran receiver Justin Hardy will return to the lineup with a full week of practice under his belt. The 32-year-old former NFLer is the second-leading receiver in the CFL and was recently named East Division All-CFL, having caught 97 passes for 1,343 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games.

In a corresponding move, American receiver Andre Miller has been made a healthy scratch and Canadian Daniel Oladejo has been returned to the practice squad.

On defence, the team is getting back rookie strong-side linebacker Bennett Williams after he sat out last week with a head injury. The Oregon product has stepped in admirably for injured all-star Adarius Pickett, recording 27 defensive tackles, two special teams tackles, and a sack in 11 games.

Also returning this week are veteran Canadian defensive back Justin Howell and linebacker Lucas Cormier to provide depth. American defensive back Adrian Frye and rookie Canadian linebacker Dawson Pierre will be healthy scratches.

The Ottawa Redblacks (9-8-1) will visit the Toronto Argonauts (10-7) for the Eastern Semi-Final on Saturday, November 2. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. EDT at BMO Field.

Former all-star receiver Damonte Coxie game-time decision for Argos in East Semi-Final
By 3Down Staff -November 1, 2024

The Toronto Argonauts are facing the possible loss of one of their biggest offensive weapons for the Eastern Semi-Final.

Receiver Damonte Coxie is listed as a game-time decision on the depth chart and his status is considered doubtful after missing the full week of practice with a knee injury. The 27-year-old has exceeded his production after being named an East Division all-star last season and is second on the team with 59 receptions for 860 yards and four touchdowns.

Coxie will be backed up by American Jake Herslow, who caught a touchdown in his Argos debut last week. Rookie Canadian first-round pick Kevin Mital is also on the roster, while star returner and Most Outstanding Special Teams Player finalist Janarion Grant can take reps at receiver after taking last week off.

The team's biggest change may come in the trenches, where reigning Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman Dejon Allen is back at right tackle after nursing an arm injury. Left guard Dylan Giffen has also returned from a back injury, bumping Gregor MacKellar back to backup duty. This year's Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman finalist Ryan Hunter will jump back in at left tackle, with John Bosse and George Moore returning to the practice roster after auditioning in the regular-season finale.

Canadian defensive end Robbie Smith will also be back this week after sitting out the finale for personal reasons. American defensive tackle Jordan Williams has been sent to the practice roster, while Canadian receiver Tommy Nield is a healthy scratch.

The Toronto Argonauts (10-7) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (9-8-1) for the Eastern Semi-Final on Saturday, November 2. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. EDT at BMO Field.

I wonder if Coxie wishes he didn't cut out the protective knee pads in his pants so he could wear the 'cool' pants that had the protection removed. I fail to understand why the league allows this to happen. Oh well he ll have time to think about this now he's sitting out
