coach Scott Milanovich. His star quarterback may have escaped serious injury,
but it looks like his standout running back will be sidelined for a while.
Milanovich said Tuesday that Argonauts quarterback Ricky Ray, the CFLs leading
passer, is day-to-day with the knee injury he suffered in last weeks road win
over Winnipeg, while running back Chad Kackert, last years Grey Cup MVP, is gone
four to six weeks due to the knee injury he sustained versus the Bombers. "Ricky
is day-to-day, hes significantly better than he was a year ago," Milanovich told
reporters Tuesday. "Itll probably be a later in the week decision . . . but its
not nearly the severity it was a year ago (when Ray was out with an injury to
the same knee). "Chad Kackert is going to be a little longer. Were anticipating
four-to-six weeks as an estimate. Obviously it can go either way . . . that one
is a little bit worse." Toronto also released veteran linebacker Brandon Isaac.
It was a surprising move given Isaac was a team captain and just one of five
starters back from last years Grey Cup-winning defence. "This decision was made
by the coaching staff that we think gives us a chance to be a little better at
that position," Milanovich said. "I do appreciate what Brandons done and what he
can do as a football player. "Sometimes you have to make hard choices that you
think somebody else can do the job a little better." Milanovich said the club
will look at giving youngsters Josh Gatlin and Jamie Robinson a shot at taking
the vacant position but could also have new players in camp soon to challenge
for it. Ray missed nearly a month last season after spraining the same left knee
in a game. Should Ray be unable to play July 30 when Toronto hosts B.C. at
Rogers Centre, Milanovich said he has a replacement in mind but wouldnt say if
it would be Zach Collaros or Trevor Harris. When Ray was hurt against Winnipeg,
Milanovich had sophomores Collaros and Harris both take snaps for the remainder
of the game. "Theyre both doing a fantastic job and theyre both working hard at
it," Milanovich said. "Theyve both been in games now, which is a good thing.
"Its the reason why we felt comfortable enough not to bring Jarious (veteran
backup Jarious Jackson) back. Obviously he had a great opportunity in B.C. but
we also felt like these young kids had a chance to grow and move into that role.
If Ricky is not able to go then theyre going to have to really prove it against
a great defence." Jackson served as Rays backup last season before retiring as a
player and joining the Lions as their quarterback coach in the off-season.
Fortunately for the Argos (2-2), they have the benefit of time. Toronto doesnt
return to action until Tuesday when it hosts the B.C. Lions at Rogers Centre.
With Kackert out, rookie Curtis Steele will move into the starting lineup
against B.C. "Weve got a lot of confidence in him," Milanovich said. "Weve been
trying to prepare him for this because you never know, when youre the backup
tailback anything can happen. "Certainly its tough (losing Kackert) . . . we
have to do a good job as coaches giving (Steele) a chance to be successful."
Rookie defensive lineman Nekos Brown, who opened the season as a starter, and
offensive lineman Michael Di Domenico were also released while the club added
defensive backs Ricardo Colclough and Hugo Lopez and running back Chris
Jennings.

third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon
Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1.

since injuring his wrist a month ago, Del Potro had difficulty with his service
games in the first set. Simone Biles, the American gymnast who won a record four
gold medals at the Olympics in Rio, has signed her first post-Games endorsement
deal.Biles, 19, has agreed to a multiyear deal with Mattress Firm, the largest
mattress retailer in the United States.Financial terms were not disclosed.Ken
Murphy, CEO of Mattress Firm, said the deal was good for the company, which did
$2.5 billion in sales in 2015, and good for Biles.We think she and her team
deserves every penny she can get, Murphy said.While Biles said she didnt have
any particular sponsorships in mind after her performance in Rio, where she won
gold medals in the individual all-around, vault and floor exercise, and a team
gold medal, she said any deal she signed would have to make sense.My
endorsements have been very well planned out, Biles said. Each of them mean
something to me in terms of how it can make me better. Its very important for me
to get a good nights sleep so I can deal with the day.While the company has more
than 3,500 stores in 49 states, Murphy said the Mattress Firm will use Biles in
Houston, where the company is headquartered and where Biles has lived since she
was 3 years old.dddddddddddd.Murphy said Biles is the perfect spokesperson for
the companys program of supporting foster homes. Biles was in and out of foster
facilities as a child before she was taken in and raised by her grandfather and
his second wife.The entire nation watched in awe as she became our most
decorated Olympian gymnast, Murphy said. Were thrilled to be able to use Simone
to springboard what were doing for this country in bringing national awareness
to the foster care system and this company.I know what its like to only have the
clothes that are in your pack, Biles said. I want other foster kids to know that
they are not alone and they can feel like they can do anything.Biles is expected
to benefit from the fact that many Olympic stars are still amateurs in college
-- including swimmers Katie Ledecky, Simone Manuel, Ryan Murphy and Lilly King
-- and cant do endorsement deals.Mattress Firm joins P&G, Nike, Hersheys,
United Airlines, GK Elite and Core Power on Biles growing endorsement roster. '
