After saying they had moved Chad Kelly to the suspended list on Tuesday, the Toronto Argonauts revised the statement hours later and said the quarterback was not, in fact on that list.
"Remains away from team," the Argos said.
The placement of Kelly on the suspended list was seen a procedural move because the CFL's outstanding player last season is away from the team. Last week, the CFL banned Kelly from playing in Toronto's two pre-season games and at least its first nine regular-season games for violating its gender-based violence policy.
Kelly was on the field Thursday for Toronto's rookie camp but the Argos announced Sunday on the first day of training camp that Kelly wouldn't be participating in team activities.
The Argos also cut seven players, including defensive back Josh Hagerty.
Hagerty, 25, was entering his fourth season with Toronto after being selected in the sixth round, No. 47 overall, of the 2021 CFL draft out of the University of Saskatchewan. The six-foot-three, 200-pound Regina native helped the Huskies win the Vanier Cup in 2018 and was a member of the Argos' Grey Cup-winning squad in 2022.
Canadian defensive back Daniel Valente was also released. The Argos also let go of defensive backs Latavious Brini and Jordan Jones, defensive lineman Tyler Williams and receivers Zach Peterson and Rajae Johnson, all Americans.
Joining Kelly on the suspended list was American running back Deandre Torrey while Canadian defensive back Jamie Harry was moved to the one-game injured list.
