The Toronto Argonauts will have two new starters in the lineup when they visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. The team released its official depth chart on Friday morning.

Rush Reimer will start at right tackle in place of the injured Brandon Kemp. The six-foot-five, 304-pound blocker signed with the team in December and was placed on the practice roster at the end of training camp.

The native of Camas, Wash. attended training camp with the Buffalo Bills in 2025 but didn’t make the team’s final roster. He finished his collegiate career at the University of California where he played 12 games and made 10 starts at guard. Reimer previously played at Montana State, where he made 30 starts and was named first-team All-Big Sky in 2023.

Kemp (leg) did not practice this week and has been placed on the six-game injured list. He has made nine starts for the Argonauts at right tackle this year.

Alex Teubner will start at weak-side linebacker in place of Cameron Judge. The native of Seaside, Ore. joined the team as a free agent in May following his release from the B.C. Lions. He has dressed for two regular-season games this year in a depth role, making one special teams tackle. This will be his first CFL start.

The six-foot-one, 200-pound defender played collegiately at Boise State University where he made 195 total tackles, two interceptions, 12 pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries. He was a two-time All-Mountain West honourable mention.

Judge (hip) did not practice this week and has been placed on the one-game injured list. The veteran has made 16 defensive tackles and four special teams tackles over seven games this season.

The Argonauts have also added American defensive lineman Jalen Bell and Canadian linebacker Jalen Rayam to the active roster, and moved American defensive lineman DaMarcus Johnson to the reserve roster.

The Toronto Argonauts (5-5) will visit the Saskatchewan Roughriders (6-4) at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday, August 29 with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts are coming off a 39-20 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, while the Roughriders lost in Vancouver by a score of 30-16.

The weather forecast in Regina calls for a high of 26 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 620 CKRM in Regina.
