Argos head coach Scott Milanovich says sophomore Zach Collaros will be Toronto’s starter in Ray’s absence.

Ray had been on a hot streak prior to the injury, making Toronto’s offence one of the league’s most potent.

Collaros will start Tuesday when Toronto hosts Montreal.

It will be his second start of the year. He led Toronto to a 38-12 home win over B.C. on July 30 when Ray was out with a knee injury.
