Edmonton Elks without Kenneth Logan Jr. against Argos
by 3Down Staff  August 14, 2026

The Edmonton Elks will be without one of their top defensive playmakers when they take on the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday.

Strongside linebacker Kenneth Logan Jr. has been placed on the one-game injured list after he was unable to practice this week due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old has amassed 34 defensive tackles, two sacks, an interception, and a forced fumble this season, and was recently named a mid-season CFL all-star by 3DownNation.

The Elks will make two changes to adjust to Logan's absence. Kordell Jackson will bump down into the box to play strong-side linebacker, while rookie Terez Reid will take over as the boundary halfback.

Also missing this week for Edmonton is defensive tackle Tomari Fox, who has been placed on the six-game injured list with an arm problem. The 25-year-old has notched eight defensive tackles and a sack this season.

Gavin Meyer will step into the starting lineup to replace Fox, while Carmine Bastone is set to join the rotation in his CFL debut.

Edmonton has also placed Canadian running back Isaiah Knight on the reserve roster for this game, with rookie Canadian offensive lineman Chris Pashula dressing for added depth up front.

The Edmonton Elks (6-3) will host the Toronto Argonauts (4-4) at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, August 15, with kickoff scheduled for 3:00 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts narrowly beat the Calgary Stampeders last week, while the Elks lost 48-30 against the Montreal Alouettes.

The weather forecast in Edmonton calls for 22 degrees with a mix of sun and cloud. The game will be broadcast on TSN and CTV in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 880 CHED in Edmonton.

Jake Herslow to make season debut for Toronto Argonauts against Elks
by 3Down Staff August 14, 2026

The Toronto Argonauts will have Jake Herslow in the starting lineup for the first time this season when they visit the Edmonton Elks on Saturday afternoon. The team published its official depth chart on Friday morning.

The 28-year-old was sensational last year, recording 59 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns over 13 regular-season games.

The six-foot, 185-pound target began this season on the one-game injured list and was subsequently placed on the reserve roster. He will now start at field-side slotback after Makai Polk was moved to the one-game injured list with a foot injury.

Polk has caught 37 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns this season. The 25-year-old native of Richmond, Calif. is the team's second-lead receiver behind Damonte Coxie.

The rest of Toronto's roster has remained fairly consistent from last week, save for a few depth changes.

Dathan Hickey, a collegiate standout out of Youngstown State, has been promoted from the practice roster to fill a backup role in the secondary. Canadian linebacker Jalen Rayam, who dressed for three games earlier this season, has also been activated from the practice roster.

Ethan John, the team's second-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft, has been moved to the one-game injured list with an ankle injury. James Neal, a rookie linebacker out of Texas State, has been placed back on the practice roster.

The Toronto Argonauts (4-4) will visit the Edmonton Elks (6-3) at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, August 15 with kickoff scheduled for 3:00 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts narrowly beat the Calgary Stampeders last week, while the Elks lost 48-30 against the Montreal Alouettes.

The weather forecast in Edmonton calls for 22 degrees with a mix of sun and cloud. The game will be broadcast on TSN and CTV in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 880 CHED in Edmonton.

Farhan Lalji is having a rough start calling this game - several errors. Perhaps he should let Marshall Ferguson take over.

[Throw Long Bannatyne]

Elks have a very good pass rush, Bombers better figure out how to better protect Zach.

Good news is their OLine looks just as bad as ours.

[Stats Junkie]

Rankin is overrated. In his career, he has been tackled for a loss on more than 14% of his offensive touches. Today it is 2 TFL on 8 touches. Yes he is a threat to break a long one but it does not offset the liability that he is at other times.

Toronto's decision to have Edmonton re-punt before the half cost the Argos 5 yards and 10 seconds.

In retrospect retaining BOLO would have been a nice option at #4 or #5, he's  quite utilitarian and physical enough to beat out either Nield or Clercius.

[BomberFan73]

I think Clercius had better upside, but that injury has set him back.

Man Edmonton is going to KILL us next week!!

I agree with this. He might be the one who got away.

Here is a comment I made when Edmonton signed BOLO in free agency

In Winnipeg he was in a system where backups didn't play

In Hamilton he was caught in a numbers game where several receivers shared the reps

I've been impressed by O'Leary-Orange when he does get consistent time on the field. In the right system he could be a solid 500-800 yard receiver

BOLO is definitely the one that got away. But c est la vie

He's not Capt. Fantastic but he's playing better than 4 of the 5 Natl. receivers the Bombers currently have on their roster.
