  "account": "Chad Kelly will not don the Toronto Argonauts' starting quarterback jersey for Saturday's home clash against the B.C. Lions. The Argos recently unveiled their depth chart, placing seasoned Nick Arbuckle in the starting role. Jarret Doege and Tucker Horn are set as the quarterback backups, with Kelly among the sidelined players. Kelly, plagued by a hand injury, holds the CFL record with 5,067 passing yards and 33 touchdowns. Toronto currently stands at 9-6 in the standings, having secured a commanding four-game winning streak and already clinched second place in the East Division. B.C., on the other hand, has won two straight games and has won seven of their last eight contests. This report by The Canadian Press first broke on October 2, 2026, before being picked up by Global News.",
