2025 Argonauts Roster

Can anyone explain what "Load Management" means on the CFL injury reports?

Maybe the league is talking a shot at the NBA. They invented load management

[paulwoods13]

I'm pretty sure it means healthy scratch. The league has now acknowledged that teams sometimes place uninjured players on the one-game. Because they're on the IL, they need to be accounted for on the injury report.

They basically acknowledged it last year too, but referred to these players as healthy scratches, which I think is a better term. Load management in a sport that plays once a week is ridiculous

[shatto]

Basically load management is resting a player for precautionary reasons. The stress on an athlete's body can be managed by periods of rest. At least that is the theory

But in reality in the CFL’s case, it’s just a healthy scratch *cough* 1 game injured list

Kevin Brown brought back?

Kevin Brown brought back?

Glad to have him!

[gilthethrill]

The return of Brown must mean that McMahon is out for a bit? Glad he was available, he's a solid back who runs hard and can catch.

[AngeloV]

I have no idea why Brown didn't get a better look in the first place. I may be wrong here, but I don't think Williams has the quickness needed to be a dominant CFL back. I would have kept at least one of the proven vets until he showed otherwise, but doubtful either would have accepted a PR spot. In any event, I am glad they were able to bring Brown back.

I echo your sentiments Angelo, the Argos left themselves very inexperienced at this position coming out of camp.
Hopefully Brown is motivated to prove that he should be the starting RB.
