TORONTO — Quarterback Nick Arbuckle has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 season.
According to a report from TSN’s Farhan Lalji, the Toronto Argonauts have decided to keep Arbuckle out for the rest of the season after he injured his shoulder last week against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Lalji also reported that the team will start Jarret Doege against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday, and Tucker Horn will also get some in-game evaluation at some point before the year is over.
With Toronto’s loss to the Ticats in Week 18, they were officially eliminated from post-season contention.
