The addition of Chevrier to the Argonauts roster is coming off the heels of two significant injuries to the team’s linebacking corps.

Double Injury Update For Double Blue’s Starting Linebackers

Although, the Toronto Argonauts haven’t announced it officially. The expectation is that linebacker Cameron Judge will be missing an extended period of time after injuring his foot against Saskatchewan this past Friday in the Argos 30-16 loss against the Riders.

Linebacker Cameron Judge remains in a walking boot. On Monday, Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie told Frank Zicarelli of the Toronto Sun that testing to Judge’s foot revealed no structural damage. The diagnosis of Cameron Judge’s injured foot is a bad sprain. The initial fear was that the injury would be season-ending, but it looks like there is a chance that he could return before the season ends. For now, Judge figures to be out for at least the next six games.

Linebacker Henoc Muamba suffered a hamstring injury during Week 7’s Riders game. The good news on Muamba’s injury is that his hamstring is not torn. The bad news is that he will likely miss Friday’s game at BMO Field versus Montreal.

In the meantime, Toronto does have Dexter McCoil, who has played the most defensive snaps of any Argo this season despite not being listed as a starter. Vontae Diggs missed last week’s game with an illness. His return would be a welcome sight. It’s unknown if Jack Cassar and Bear Woods are inching close to a return. Woods has been playing the role of an assistant coach while he has been on the injured list.

The Argos have a bye in Week 9. It’s possible that Henoc Muamba could be back to play Ottawa at home on Wednesday, October 6th. The extra time off will help the Boatmen recover for the final stretch of the season. There are several Toronto players currently on the six-game injured list. Some like defensive linemen like Drake Nevis and Cordarro Law could be inching closer to making their season debuts. They both practiced on Monday in a limited fashion.

As for who will be coordinating the Boatmen’s defensive players in Week 8. For now, the team hasn’t officially named an interim defensive coordinator while Glen Young is on personal leave from the team. Rich Stubler and Kevin Eiben teamed up last week to handle the game planning and play calling. A little birdie says that Chris Jones has been quarantining in Toronto, waiting to join the team once all protocols are completed.

WR Kendall Wright Officially Joins The Argos

Although it’s been reported for quite some time, Toronto officially announced the activation of WR Kendall Wright from their suspended list to their practice roster. The Baylor standout and former first-round draft pick signed with Toronto early in 2021 but did not show up for training camp due to transportation issues.

It’s worth noting that Kendall Wright has a former teammate in CFL rookie RB DJ Foster. Both spent time together with the Arizona Cardinals a few years back. So it’s possible that Foster gave Wright a great review of his experience in Toronto playing in the CFL so far. They are now teammates once again with the Argos.

Kendall Wright reported to the team last week but had to go through the COVID protocol process before officially joining Toronto’s roster.

With a bye week upcoming, it’s possible that Kendall Wright could be a few weeks away from donning an Argos uniform in a regular-season game. The NFL veteran would bring a lot of experience and a great set of hands to the Boatmen’s lineup. Wright has 339 career receptions for 3,858 yards and has scored 19 touchdowns throughout his pro career.

The Texas native, Wright, 31, hasn’t played pro football since a brief stint with the Arizona Cardinals in the fall of 2018. So it might take him some time to shake off the rust. But with Juwan Brescasion and Daniel Braverman on the shelf due to injuries. There could be an opening for Wright to contribute. The receiver who wore two shades of Blue for Tennessee in the NFL is now a member of the original Double Blue.
