The Calgary Stampeders listed Bo Levi Mitchell as the starting quarterback on their official depth chart heading into the team's Labour Day Classic matchup with the Edmonton Eskimos.

The two-time Most Outstanding Player was activated from the six-game injured list Thursday. He suffered a shoulder injury in Week 3.

Nick Arbuckle filled in as Calgary's starter during Mitchell's absence, completing 73% of his passes for 2,103 yards and 11 touchdowns while compiling a 4-3 record.

Sitting at 5-4 and third in the West, Calgary's game Monday against the 6-4 Eskimos is crucial for potential playoff positioning.
