Getting back into the win column this week won't be easy -- Toronto (5-11) will be in Regina on Friday to face the league-leading Saskatchewan Roughriders (11-4).

Jarrett Doege is expected to start at QB for the Argos after stepping in for the injured Arbuckle against the Ticats.

The 27-year-old from Lubbock, Texas, threw for 323 yards, connecting on 34 of 49 attempts with two touchdowns and four interceptions.

Doege and his teammates will need to find answers for Saskatchewan's stingy defence. The Riders have given up a CFL-low 346 points so far this season.

Saskatchewan, too, is dealing with a slate of injures. Defensive backs Nelson Lokombo (ankle), Rolan Milligan Jr. (foot/knee) and Marcus Sayles (knee) did not practice on Monday or Tuesday.
