The Toronto Argonauts will be without the services of leading receiver Vidal Hazelton for Saturday's key game against the Redblacks in Ottawa.

Head coach Scott Milanovich said it was a coach's decision but would not elaborate.

Over the course of the season, Hazelton has taken several penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Last month, the rookie receiver was benched in a game against the Blue Bombers in Winnipeg.

The Argonauts (6-5) are coming off the bye week and trail the Redblacks (7-4) by two points in the East Division.
