The Toronto Argonauts have released Canadian running back Weagbe Mombo, the team announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The five-foot-eleven, 215-pound ball-carrier was an eighth-round pick in the 2026 CFL Draft out of the University of Windsor. He spent the first 10 weeks of the regular-season on Toronto\u2019s practice roster.<\/p>\n

The Toronto native played 23 games over four seasons with the Lancers, rushing for 1,274 yards and five touchdowns. He was named a second-team OUA all-star in 2025.<\/p>\n

Sources have confirmed to\u00a03DownNation that Mombo is going back to school to finish his final year of collegiate eligibility at Windsor.<\/p>\n

The Argonauts have also signed Canadian defensive lineman Gabriel Maisonneuve and Canadian defensive back Istvan Assibo-Dadzie.<\/p>\n

Maisonneuve was a fifth-round pick in the 2025 CFL Draft by the Montreal Alouettes, though he never dressed for a regular-season game with the team. He was released at the conclusion of training camp this year.<\/p>\n

The native of Gatineau, Que. played collegiately at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, where he recorded 47 tackles, nine sacks, and three forced fumbles over 31 games. He was named a first-team U Sports All-Canadian in 2025 and helped the Carabins win the Vanier Cup in 2023.<\/p>\n

Assibo-Dadzie was a fourth-round pick of the Argonauts in the 2025 CFL Draft out of Windsor, and spent part of his rookie year on the practice roster.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old native of Brampton, Ont. recorded 86.5 tackles and five interceptions over 30 collegiate games with the Lancers, earning a first-team OUA all-star selection in 2024. He was also named a second-team OUA all-star in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Toronto Argonauts (4-5) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (4-6) at BMO Field on Saturday, August 22 with kickoff scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EDT. The Tiger-Cats are coming off a 26-19 upset win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, while the Argonauts got blown out by the Edmonton Elks by a score of 42-12.<\/p>\n

The weather forecast in Toronto calls for a high of 23 degrees and a 40 percent chance of rain. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on the Ticats Audio Network in Hamilton or TSN 1050 in Toronto.<\/p>\n
