One last road trip prior to coming back to BMO Field.
This game makes me nervous, the Argos have struggled at McMahon mightily over the years.

Trap game?
Argos Season Ticket Holder 2016-2021.
Trap game if there is one will be the next game against Ottawa at home. I expect the Argos to make club history by beating Calgary to begin a season 7-0 for the first time in team history.
GO ARGOS!!!
No such thing as a trap game. Argos should win this game. Both teams are on short weeks, but Calgary is on a really short week.
It's us vs the rest of the country
I look forward to HC Dickenson’s continued frustrated comments after the Stampeders drop another. Guy isn’t accustomed to losing.
ARGOS, STAMPS INJURY REPORTS:
CAREY LIMITED, COXIE FULL ON TUE
https://www.cfl.ca/2023/08/01/argos-...e-full-on-tue/
TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders have shared their first injury reports ahead of their game on Friday at BMO Field.
Toronto started their week of practice on Tuesday without defensive back Maurice Carnell (knee), linebacker Henoc Muamba (knee) and fullback Spencer Nichols (head).
Wide receivers Markeith Ambles (ankle) and Damonte Coxie (ankle) were full participants.
The Stampeders held a walkthrough on Tuesday after playing on Sunday against the Alouettes in Montreal.
Running back Ka’Deem Carey (toe) and wide receiver Tre Odoms-Dukes (rib) were amongst five players listed as limited for Calgary, while long snapper Aaron Crawford (calf) and wide receiver Cole Tucker (foot) sat out on Tuesday.
Thats great news about Ambles and Coxie. Expect a bounce back game by the offence.
GO ARGOS!!!
I would like to see the Argos offence have a great game after last week. Show us that was just a hiccup, and keep playing at an elite level.
The last time the Argos went 6-0, they lost the last three after that and did not make the playoffs. Sure that was 88 years ago, but the Argos have a tendency to repeat history.
Don't screw around and get the win.
I'm glad Ambles and Coxie will be available. Anyone know the timeline for Muamba? He was 6 gamed originally so is he now week to week?
Given that Muamba isn't yet practising, I wouldn't expect him back terribly soon. Maybe the best case scenario is the game at home to Calgary on August 25th? That would be following the Argos' final bye week of the season.
Here's the key question concerning Ambles - how do the Argos get him back into the lineup? Which American on the roster should he replace?
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
We'll have a better idea tomorrow when the depth chart comes out but I'm predicting he gets six-gamed again. It only makes sense if he's not healthy enough to even practice that he be put there to protect the idea of saving his salary against the cap. I personally think we won't see him in the lineup until the fall.

I have no idea how injured he is. The fact he is at every game on the sideline tells me he is still contributing to the club in a positive way, but whether he will ever get back on the field is an open question at this point. We definitely do need Williams back at full speed since that gives us much more roster flex.

The depth chart is out. Major changes are Ciraco sits (1-game IL), with Nicastro back at centre and Mackellar starting at RG. Richards is now backing up on the o-line (along with Noll).
Jamal Peters sits (1-game IL) and is replaced by McFadden, who lines up alongside Amos. Stiggers plays the other CB alongside Daniel.
Backups/STers in are Adeboboye, Hagerty and Marion; out are Nichols (6-gm IL), Sutton (PR) and Kwamou (PR).
Nield has come off the 6-game and been added to practice roster. Haydel gets another start at WR with Coxie still on 1-game IL.
8 d-linemen dressed including all three American DTs. Officially (based on the depth chart and the impenetrable use of "designated Americans" and "nationalized Americans," McManis is backing up Jones at OLB, with Williams starting at ILB. In reality I expect we will see McManis on the field for virtually every snap, with Jones and Williams dividing the other spot.
Cage and Costigan are both on the 1-game IL. On the 6 are Muamba (2nd stint), Priester (2nd stint), Nichols, Carnell (2nd stint), Giffen and Bladek (2nd stint).

They are being very careful with Coxie, as he did fully participate in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bladek did too, but I am guessing that they don't have a spot for him at the moment and he carries a big ticket. It is incredible just how much depth this team has.

The Peters injury seemed to come out of no where.
