TORONTO — Nick Arbuckle could be back as the Toronto Argonauts starting quarterback.

Arbuckle missed Toronto’s 21-19 loss last week to Montreal due to a calf injury. But on Tuesday, Arbuckle took roughly 60 per cent of reps with the Argos starting offence ahead of Jarret Doege — who started against the Alouettes — much to the surprise of head coach Ryan Dinwiddie.

“You know, Jarret still got about 40 per cent of it but I was shocked Nick was moving around as good as he was,” Dinwiddie said. “We’ll see how (Wednesday) is going to go.

“If he’s full strength like he was (Tuesday) I anticipate him being our starting quarterback.”
