The Toronto Argonauts will be without American receiver Jake Herslow when they host the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday. The team released its official depth chart on Friday morning.

The 28-year-old started the team’s last four games at slotback and made 11 catches for 146 yards and one touchdown. He was a non-participant in practice this week due to a head/chest injury and has been placed on the six-game injured list.

Solomon Davis will start in place of Herslow. The six-foot-one, 205-pound target played 12 games at Central Michigan in 2024, where he caught 19 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns. The native of Brighton, Tenn. started his collegiate career at Valparaiso University, an FCS program located in Indiana, where he made 94 receptions for 1,415 yards and 10 touchdowns across 34 games. This will be his first CFL game.

The Argonauts have made only one other change to the roster, as Jack Cassar has been placed on the six-game injured list (hand).

The veteran special teamer has tallied 25 defensive tackles, 76 special teams tackles, two forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, and one pass knockdown over 80 career regular-season CFL games, helping the Argonauts win two Grey Cups.

Jordan Herdman-Reed, who signed with the team on Thursday, has been moved to the active roster in his place. The 32-year-old has played 105 career regular-season CFL games with the B.C. Lions, Saskatchewan Roughriders, and Argonauts, recording 96 defensive tackles, 73 special teams tackles, three sacks, and one forced fumble.

The Toronto Argonauts (6-6) will host the Ottawa Redblacks (0-11) at BMO Field on Saturday, September 12 with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EDT. Last week, the Redblacks were on bye while the Argonauts won the season series against Hamilton with a 37-22 victory in the Labour Day Classic.

The weather forecast in Toronto calls for a high of 24 degrees and sun. The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on TSN 1200 in Ottawa or TSN 1050 in Toronto.
