Argonauts Roster Update: McManis, Brinkman Back, Grant Out
The Toronto Argonauts have made some roster moves ahead of their upcoming game, with two key players returning from injury and one being placed on the six-game injured list.
McManis and Brinkman Return to the Lineup
The Argos announced that defensive lineman Shawn Oakman McManis and receiver Kurleigh Gittens Jr. are both expected to be back in the lineup after missing time due to injury. This is a huge boost for the Argonauts, as both players are key contributors to the team's success.
McManis, who was recently named a CFL All-Star, brings a dominant presence to the defensive line. His return will be a welcome sight for a defense that has been struggling at times this season.
Gittens Jr., a standout receiver, brings a dynamic element to the Argonauts' offense. His return is expected to spark the team's passing game and provide quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson with another reliable target.
Grant Placed on Injured List
However, the good news is tempered by the news that receiver DaVaris Daniels Grant has been placed on the six-game injured list. This is a significant blow to the Argonauts' offense, as Grant has been a consistent performer for the team this season.
Grant's absence leaves a void in the receiver corps, and it will be interesting to see how the team adapts to his absence. The Argonauts will likely rely on other receivers like Cam Phillips and Reggie Begelton to step up and fill the void.
Impact on the Argos' Playoff Push
These roster moves come at a crucial time for the Argonauts, who are currently fighting for a playoff spot. The return of McManis and Brinkman provides a much-needed boost to the team's defense and offense, respectively. The loss of Grant is a setback, but the team will need to adjust and continue to compete for a playoff berth.
The Argonauts' next game is against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and it will be interesting to see how these roster changes impact the team's performance. Stay tuned for further updates and analysis of the Argonauts' roster moves.
