The Toronto Argonauts have released Canadian offensive lineman Anim Dankwah. The team announced the move on Thursday morning.

The six-foot-eight, 355-pound blocker played Toronto’s first four regular-season games this year in a depth role.

Dankwah was originally a sixth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft. He initially signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, then had a stint on the practice roster with the Washington Commanders.

The 25-year-old joined the Argonauts in 2025. He played four regular-season games as a CFL rookie that season and made one start at right tackle, though he suffered a torn ACL that kept him out for the rest of the year.

Dankwah was born in Ghana and raised in Brampton, Ont.

The Toronto Argonauts (2-2) will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2-2) at Princess Auto Stadium on Friday, July 10 with kickoff scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts are coming off a 58-36 loss to the Calgary Stampeders, while the Blue Bombers overcame an injury to Zach Collaros to narrowly beat the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

The weather forecast in Winnipeg calls for a high of 29 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 1050 in Toronto and 680 CJOB in Winnipeg.
