The Argonauts are reportedly turning to a retired NFLer as a temporary replacement to injured kicker Noel Prefontaine.
The Boatmen have placed 39-year-old kicker Steve Christie on their negotiation list, Rogers Sportsnet reported yesterday on its website. The Oakville native spent 15 seasons in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers and New York Giants.
Prefontaine was injured in Toronto's season-opening 24-22 loss to the B.C. Lions on Thursday. The veteran kicker needed help leaving the field after he had a punt blocked by Barron Miles. Argos coach Mike (Pinball) Clemons said Prefontaine injured his leg slightly on the block and hit his head hard on the turf, leaving him too woozy to continue.
