The Toronto Argonauts football club would like to congratulate WR/KR Chad Owens on being named CFL Special Teams Player of the Week for CFL week 2. This is Owens’ first CFL Special Teams Player of the Week award.

Playing in just his second game as an Argonaut, Owens accumulated a career-high 302 all-purpose yards against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He had four kickoff returns for 103 yards, five punt returns for 52 yards, 2 receptions for 30 yards and one missed field goal return which he ran back 117 yards for a touchdown. The missed field goal return was the first of his football career.

Entering week 3, Owens leads the league in punt return yards (168, 16.8 AVG), and is currently second overall in combined yards with 469. In his first game of the season on Canada Day, Owens blazed 90 yards for his first punt return touchdown. He currently leads the Argos with 428 total yards and two touchdowns.

Fans can watch Owens and the rest of the Argos live this Wednesday, July 14 at Rogers Centre as Toronto takes on the Calgary Stampeders at 7:30 p.m. ET. Tickets are available by calling 416-341-2746 or by visiting argonauts.ca
