Toronto Argonauts QB Chad Kelly strained against Alouettes with apparent leg injury

Toronto Argonauts point guard Chad Kelly suffered an apparent leg injury near the end of the third quarter of the East Final and was carried off the field on a stretcher.

TSN’s Matthew Scianitti reports that Kelly was taken to Montreal General Hospital for imaging.

Kelly, 30, broke into a tackle and ran the ball for nine yards before appearing to hurt himself as he was tackled at the end of the run.

Senior QB Nick Arbuckle entered the game to relieve Kelly.

Kelly struggled early in the game, completing only four of his first 11 passes, but converted those passes late in the first half and into the second half. He came out of the game completing 11 of 22 passes for 182 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

The Argonauts were leading the Montreal Alouettes 24-16 when Kelly was ejected from the game.

This game is a rematch of the 2023 East Final, which the Alouettes won 38-17.

The winner of the game will play the Saskatchewan Roughriders or the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Gray Cup next week in Victoria.

More to come.
