TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts will have Dakota Prukop start under centre for the team’s Week 21 game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Prukop, 26, is finishing up his third season with the double blue. He featured in the Argos’ Week 20 game against the Ottawa REDBLACKS, completing 6 of 8 passes for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

He’ll be backed up by Michael O’Connor, who also made his debut against Ottawa. He threw his first career touchdown in the victory and will likely see more snaps in this contest.

McLeod Bethel-Thompson is listed as the third-string pivot while it looks like James Franklin will not dress for the season finale.

Chandler Worthy will not play, as he suffered an ankle injury. Additionally, Toronto’s MOP candidate, Derel Walker, will miss another game. S.J. Green and Armanti Edwards will feature in the lineup while Kurleigh Gittens Jr. gets the start at wideout. Rodney Smith and Jimmy Ralph will also start at receiver.

The Argos won’t make any major changes on the defensive end for this game.

The Argos will head to Tim Hortons Field to finish off their 2019 campaign against the Ticats. The two Eastern foes will kick-off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
