Injured running back will return for East final, three days after becoming a father for the second time.
Harris became a father for the second time, in the early moments of Thursday morning, and it has added to the emotion and excitement of the Argos’ second consecutive appearance in the East final.
The injury required surgery, and the prognosis afterward indicated Harris would be lost for the season. Dinwiddie said it’s not a concern to drop Harris, one of the CFL’s greatest all-time running backs, into a playoff game after nine weeks on the sidelines. “Two great backs,” Argos offensive lineman Dariusz Bladek said. “It’s the mentality that both of them bring. When you’re out there, with those guys, it just makes you want to go more, because you know every time they touch that ball, they’ll go a little bit more. Andrew has been talking about leaning, just lean on the them , just keeping that it our head, get used to pushing after the pile and push more. It’s exciting.
