TORONTO - It's clear the Toronto Argonauts aren't going to rush starter Ricky Ray back into the lineup.

Ray, who underwent shoulder surgery this off-season, reported to the first day of the Argos' rookie minicamp Wednesday at York University.

But while the other four quarterbacks wore helmets and shoulder pads, Ray donned a baseball cap and watched as veterans Trevor Harris and Mitchell Gale took the bulk of the opening snaps.

The expectation is Harris will get the majority of snaps during training camp to maximize Ray's recovery time.

The Argos open training camp Sunday at York.
