TORONTO - The 2014 season is quickly becoming one to forget for Andre Durie.

The Toronto Argonauts placed the veteran slotback on the six-game injured list Friday, effectively ending his season. Durie, 33, broke his right clavicle for a second time after diving for a pass at practice this week.

Durie first broke the bone on July 5 in Toronto's 48-15 home win over Saskatchewan.

That forced him to miss seven games before returning for the Argos' 40-33 road loss to Calgary on Sept. 13.

Durie has 19 catches for 214 yards and a TD this season.

Rookie Robert Gill will replace Durie in the Argos' starting lineup Saturday afternoon when they host the Edmonton Eskimos.
