Argos receiver Duron Carter set to make Toronto debut against Tiger-Cats

TORONTO — Duron Carter will make his debut for the Toronto Argonauts on Saturday against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The veteran receiver will be on the active roster as a backup, coach Marc Trestman told reporters on Friday. Carter also could return kicks, Trestman said. The Argos, who signed Carter late last month after he was cut by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, originally said the receiver would not play on Labour Day in Hamilton

or in Saturday’s rematch. However, Trestman and the Argos altered course after watching the two-time CFL all-star’s actions on and off the field since joining the team. Trestman said he talked to some of the team’s veterans before making the decision. The Argos (3-7) sit two wins behind the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (5-6) in the race for the final playoff spot in the CFL.
