TORONTO — James Franklin is set to return as the Toronto Argonauts' starting quarterback.
Argos head coach Corey Chamblin says Franklin will start on Saturday when Toronto (2-10) hosts the Saskatchewan Roughriders (8-4).
Franklin replaced McLeod Bethel-Thompson in last week's 23-16 loss to the Calgary Stampeders. He went 12-for-16 passing for 175 yards and a touchdown in relief.
Franklin began the year as Argos' starter before suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3, opening the door for Bethel-Thompson.
On the season, Franklin is 48-of-71 passing (67.6 per cent) for 582 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions.
