Chad Kelly Injured During East Semifinal Against Blue Bombers

Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly left the East semifinal against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers due to an upper-body injury, replaced by Nick Arbuckle.

During the East semifinal on Saturday, Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly exited the game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after sustaining an apparent upper-body injury.

Kelly had been showing signs of injury, favoring his throwing arm after a hit and a fumble in the third quarter. He remained in the game until he was replaced by backup Nick Arbuckle at the 9:43 mark of the fourth quarter. Prior to his exit, Kelly completed 18 of 30 passes for 193 yards and one touchdown.

This injury marks a continuation of Kelly's playoff challenges, as he previously suffered a leg injury in the 2024 East Final, which sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. Earlier this week, Kelly signed a five-year contract extension, ensuring his presence in Toronto through the 2031 season.
