2026 Preseason Week 2


Listen Later

The regular season is almost here, but first the Toronto Argonauts have one more preseason test. Ben Grant and JB get you caught up on everything happening around the Double Blue and get you set for Friday night's preseason finale in Guelph against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Projected starting Canadian safety Enoch Makonzo has unexpectedly retired, leaving Toronto with questions about roster construction. Can rookie Ethan John step into the role immediately? Or will the Argos need to pivot and open the season with an American at safety?

The guys also take a hard look at Toronto's Canadian depth across the roster. Which spots feel solid? Which positions are one injury away from becoming a problem?

Ben and JB also debate one of training camp's more unusual moments after Mike Miller ended practice early and took the team to the movies. Smart team-building move? Or valuable practice time a team can't afford to lose?

Plus:

  • Which position battles matter most Friday night
  • Which jobs could still be won or lost
  • Who you should be watching closely in the preseason finale
  • Why initiatives like Huddle Up, which wrapped up its 25th year in Guelph this week, continue to matter so much
  • And finally, the guys dive into renewed discussion surrounding possible CFL expansion into Halifax or Quebec City

Training camp is winding down. Tough roster decisions are coming. And Week 1 is right around the corner.
