Report: Ricky Ray out for season with punctured lung
The Toronto Argonauts will be without star quarterback Ricky Ray for the remainder of the 2016 season due to a punctured lung, a source told Herb Zurkowsky of the Montreal Gazette.
Ray threw for a season-high 386 yards in last week's 49-36 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, but has not practiced for the club all week.
The Argonauts, however, have yet to confirm if their pivot is done for the year.
spoke with @TorontoArgos, they wouldn't confirm or deny @HerbZurkowsky1 report on Ricky Ray being done for #cfl season. "We don't know yet."

Dan LeFevour will takeover the starting position if Ray is indeed sidelined for the rest of the campaign, TSN 690's Joey Alfieri reports, starting with a return engagement versus Hamilton on Sept. 11.
Ray has 1,834 yards passing and 13 touchdowns thus far in 2016, but already missed three games this season due to a sprained MCL. The 36-year-old missed 17 games last season with a shoulder issue.
