Dinwiddie is confident Arbuckle will be ready to go when Toronto kicks off its 21 season in Calgary on Aug. 7. It s just one of those things when it comes to soft tissue you re so worried about having a pull, Dinwiddie said during a video conference. Right now he s got a little thing with it but he hasn t pulled anything and I d just hate for him to go out there too early and pull his hamstring. If Nick isn t ready to go, I m comfortable with the other guys . I like all three of our guys at this stage.
Toronto signed Arbuckle, 27, as a free agent Feb. 1. The move reunited Arbuckle with Dinwiddie, who served as Calgary s quarterback coach (2016-19) before being hired as the Argos head coach.

Toronto Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie continues to be cautious with quarterback Nick Arbuckle s hamstring injury.
Dinwiddie kept Arbuckle out of Toronto s scrimmage Monday as a precaution. He took the same approach last week for the club s opening scrimmage of training camp so once again veteran McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Antonio Pipkin took the quarterback reps.
