TORONTO - Ricky Ray's season is done.
A CFL source told The Canadian Press on Wednesday the veteran quarterback isn't planning to return to the Toronto Argonauts this year after suffering a neck injury in their 41-7 home loss to the Calgary Stampeders on Saturday night.
The source said Ray made the statement to some players after he met with doctors.
It's unclear whether Ray has played his final down in the CFL. He seriously pondered retirement following Toronto's Grey Cup win over Calgary last year before ultimately deciding to return for a 16th season in Canada.
Ray, 38, was injured in the third quarter after being sandwiched between Calgary defensive linemen Ja'Gared Davis and Cordarro Law. Play was halted for over 20 minutes as medical personnel treated Ray.
He left the field on a stretcher with his head immobilized and taken to a Toronto hospital. On Monday, the Argos said Ray was released from hospital and resting at home but that he'd ``miss significant time this season,'' as a result of the injury.
