(Toronto) The Toronto Argonauts will try to secure first place in the East against the Montreal Alouettes on Friday. But they will have to accomplish the feat without the services of veterans Robertson Daniel and Kurleigh Gittens Jr.
Both players did not practice Wednesday and will not play when the Argos (10-1) visit the Alouettes (6-6) at Percival-Molson Stadium. A victory would guarantee first place to the Argos.
Daniel, who is tied for second on the circuit with four interceptions and six turnovers (he also recovered two fumbles), is bothered by an ankle injury. He also has 55 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.
Gittens was hit in the hip. He has caught 35 passes for 416 yards and a touchdown this season.
