GUELPH — Defensive back Robert Priester of the Toronto Argonauts says his 2026 CFL season is over.
Priester, 32, announced on social media he suffered a season-ending torn Achilles in Toronto’s 44-24 road win over the Ottawa Redblacks on Saturday afternoon. Priester was in his second stint with the Argos and had a tackle in two regular-season games with the CFL club.
“To my family, teammates, medical staff and the Toronto Argonauts organization and coaching staff, I love and appreciate each and every one of you from the top to bottom of my heart,” Priester said in a post. “Thank you for believing in me and giving me an opportunity to showcase my talent once again.
“We have more work to do; let’s pull together and get it done in 2026.”
