Aug 11, 2026 | 11:17 AM

TORONTO — Montreal receiver Tyson Philpot, Saskatchewan receiver KeeSean Johnson, and Toronto receiver Damonte Coxie have been named the top players for Week 10 of the CFL season.

Philpot recorded 10 receptions for 131 yards and three touchdowns in the Alouettes’ 48-30 win over Edmonton on Saturday.

Philpot, from Delta, B.C., has 1,154 receiving yards through nine games. He is 508 yards shy of Terry Evanshen’s Canadian single-season record of 1,662 yards, set with the Calgary Stampeders in 1967.

Johnson had 11 catches for 133 yards and a late first-half touchdown in the Roughriders’ 42-20 victory against Ottawa on Friday.

Coxie achieved a season-high 161 receiving yards on eight receptions, including a 31-yard catch with 57 seconds remaining to set up the game-winning field goal, in the Argonauts’ 33-30 win over Calgary on Thursday.

This marks Philpot’s fifth player of the week honour, Johnson’s second, and Coxie’s first of the 2026 season.
