With Ricky Ray on the sidelines for the foreseeable future, Marc Trestman has turned to James Franklin as the Toronto Argonauts' starting quarterback for the team's Week 4 contest versus the Edmonton Eskimos.
The head coach told TSN's Matt Scianitti on Monday that it was a "figurative coin flip" between Franklin or McLeod Bethel-Thompson.
Franklin came on for Ray after he suffered a neck injury in the Argos' last contest, throwing for 65 yards on 8-of-13 passing while adding 14 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Trestman said Monday that it will be a month before Ray's availability for the rest of the season can be assessed. A week ago, the Argonauts noted he'd miss significant time, and doctors have reportedly advised him to sit out for the rest of the campaign.
