Duron’s back.

Toronto Argonauts head coach Marc Trestman confirmed Friday that receiver Duron Carter would be in the line up for Saturday’s key game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Argos HC Marc Trestman says receiver Duron Carter will be on Toronto’s active roster tomorrow vs Ham. Carter won’t start but is expected to see some action – possibly also as a returner – against Ticats. #argos

After Carter signed with Toronto in late August, Trestman stated the 27-year-old receiver would not play in either game during Weeks 12 and 13.

“There’s no chance he’ll play in either game,” Trestman said on Aug. 27.

When Carter signed with Argos, Trestman had said he wouldn’t play vs Ticats. He says he had a change of heart after talking to Argos veterans about Carter. #Argos
