All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p>The Toronto Argonauts are getting some key pieces back for Saturday\u2019s clash with the Ottawa Redblacks, but one of the breakout stars of 2025 remains on the fence.<\/p>\n<p>The team has listed defensive end Andrew Chatfield as a game-time decision after he was limited in practice on Thursday with a knee injury. The 26-year-old, who was acquired via trade from Ottawa this offseason, currently leads the CFL with six sacks through eight games. He has also recorded 27 defensive tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Losing Chatfield would be a big blow to Toronto\u2019s pass rush, but the defence is guaranteed to get some other young contributors back. Dynamic rookie safety Derek Slywka returns to the lineup following a one-game absence and bumps Canadian Tyshon Blackburn back to strong-side linebacker after Jarrett Martin was released.<\/p>\n<p>Backup linebacker and special-teams demon Jack Cassar could be an even more impactful addition after the Argos surrendered two kick-return scores last week. 2025 first-round pick Jeremiah Ojo should also beef up that unit, prompting Canadian linebacker Stephen Smith and American defensive tackle Ricky Correia to be placed on the practice roster.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, fullback Felix Garand-Gauthier will make his Toronto debut and bump Brandon Calver off the roster. American Jake Herslow will draw in as the team\u2019s extra receiver after the release of Hergy Mayala.<\/p>\n<p>The Toronto Argonauts (2-6) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (2-6) on Saturday, August 9 with kickoff slated for 3:00 p.m. EDT. The Redblacks bested the Stampeders 31-11 this past week, while the Argonauts narrowly lost to the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>The weather forecast in Toronto calls for a high of 32 degrees with a 20 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN, RDS, and CTV in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 1200 in Ottawa and TSN 1050 in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-194559 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ArgosDepthW10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"780\"  \/>Graphic courtesy: Toronto Argonauts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Shaun McLeod\/3DownNation.
