James Franklin reclaims Argos’ starting quarterback job

Sep 24, 2019 | 12:11 PM

TORONTO — James Franklin is set to return as the Toronto Argonauts’ starting quarterback.

Argos head coach Corey Chamblin says Franklin will start on Saturday when Toronto (2-10) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-4).

Franklin replaced McLeod Bethel-Thompson in last week’s 23-16 loss to the Calgary Stampeders. He went 12-for-16 passing for 175 yards and a touchdown in relief.

Franklin began the year as Argos’ starter before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3, opening the door for Bethel-Thompson.

On the season, Franklin is 48-of-71 passing (67.6 per cent) for 582 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
