Any time Zach Collaros is able to do anything on the football field without any setbacks must be interpreted as a good day.

It’s a process the Argonauts’ new quarterback must endure as he makes his way back from a neck/head injury he suffered in the CFL’s season opener while playing for the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

When symptom-free, Collaros is one step closer to returning to the field and doing what he does best.

However, the way McLeod Bethel-Thompson elevated his game to arguably its highest level in leading the Argos to their first win last week against the Blue Bombers, the need for Collaros to accelerate his return is mitigated, even though there is no time frame for when the latter will line up under centre.

The more Bethel-Thompson can play at a high level, the more time the Argos are afforded to allow Collaros to ease his way into a role he seems destined to fill.

But that time won’t be next Friday night when the Edmonton Eskimos come to town. Head coach Corey Chamblin confirmed that Bethel-Thompson will start against the Eskimos.
