Cornerback Pat Watkins returns to Grey Cup-champion Argos secondary
TORONTO – Pat Watkins is back with the Toronto Argonauts.
The all-star cornerback rejoined the defending Grey Cup champions Wednesday and was with his teammates for the first time since the start of training camp.
The six-foot-five, 205-pound defensive back missed the start of camp while resolving personal matters in Florida.
Toronto will play its final exhibition game Thursday night against the Montreal Alouettes at Varsity Stadium but Watkins isn’t expected to suit up.
Watkins, 30, had 67 tackles and five interceptions with Toronto last season, his first in the CFL.
However, the Florida native didn’t participate in Toronto’s 35-22 Grey Cup win over Calgary due to injury.
Watkins signed as a free agent with the Argos in May 2012 after spending time in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys and San Diego Chargers.
