Argos receiver Duron Carter set to make Toronto debut against Tiger-Cats
TORONTO — Duron Carter will make his Toronto debut in the Argonauts’ most important game of the season.
Head coach Marc Trestman said the veteran receiver will be on the active roster Saturday afternoon when Toronto (3-7) hosts the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (5-5). Carter signed with the Argos late last month after being released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders but Trestman stated emphatically at the time Carter wouldn’t play on Labour Day in Hamilton or in Saturday’s rematch.
However, Trestman had a change of heart after talking to Argos veterans about Carter, a two-time CFL all-star.
“After talking with the players, there was a whole different feeling,” Trestman said. “Literally to a man … they felt Duron was really assimilating what we were doing in the locker-room and what we expect of guys in the locker-room.
