He looked good out there today. Im not trying to hide anything. I just want to have one more day to make sure he is ready to go.He didnt have a setback today and that was the only thing I was concerned about and he was too. The turf was a little slippery, he did some movement on it and had no pain in either the ankle or the knee, so hes ready to go.Calgary owns the best record in the CFL and tops the West Division at 11-2. Saskatchewan and the Edmonton Eskimos are tied for second at 9-4.Fridays game is the first meeting this season between Calgary and the defending Grey Cup champions. The Stampeders went 14-4 last season, but were upset at home in the West Division final by the Roughriders.The Stampeders can clinch a playoff berth with a victory Friday, although a loss by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-7) to Ottawa in the earlier game that day would also secure a playoff berth for Calgary.Stampeder running back Jon Cornish was named the CFLs Canadian player of the week Tuesday.

Lions.The CFLs Most Outstanding Player and leading rusher in 2013 has been limited to six games because of injuries this season, yet ranks second in rushing yards with 743.Returner Jock Sanders was named the leagues top special teams player of the week with 156 return yards versus the Lions.

He performed footwork drills and took first-team reps in pouring rain Tuesday.There were no setbacks today so that was big for us, Mitchell said. Its what the coach wanted to see. Its what I wanted to see.Im going to keep pushing it during the week to make sure I can find every possible angle I can twist, tweak my knee to make sure its good. Right now, as it stands, Im ready to go and ready to lead these guys into battle and see where it goes.The Stampeders have a bye week after Fridays game and wont play again until Oct. 18 in Winnipeg. Mitchell said there was discussion about delaying his return for the extra healing time, but Hufnagel wants the 24-year-old Texan back in the game if hes able to play.We have nothing accomplished yet, Hufnagel said. We havent gotten a playoff spot yet. I would like to get home-field advantage. I would like to finish in first place and weve got a lot of football left against a lot of very strong football teams.Every game is important, equally important. Whether it was the quarterback position or any position on the team, if theyre ready to play, they play.When Mitchell went down in the fourth quarter, Drew Tate completed the comeback against Toronto going 6-for-6 for 74 yards in passing and a pair of touchdown throws in a 40-33 victory.Calgary then went 1-1 in Mitchells absence. Tates completion rate was 51 per cent in his first two starts this season. The 29-year-old ran for a pair of touchdowns in a 31-15 loss to Montreal, but Calgary hasnt scored a touchdown in the air in two games.Tate combined moments of brilliance with overthrows to open receivers Saturday. His throwing-arm injury in 2013 carried over into this season. Its only been recently that Tate has felt confident in his arm.Its not consistent, but I at last have confidence in it that I can make some throws, Tate said.If Mitchell does play Friday, itll be his first trip to Mosaic Stadium as the starting quarterback. The Roughriders are coming off a 24-0 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos, but thats unlikely make the stadium any quieter Friday.Someone did an interview right before the season and asked me what my favourite thing about football is and its silencing a stadium, Mitchell said.Going into somebody elses house and somebody likes to be loud like Sask., like the Seattle Seahawks, and just hearing that stadium go silent is probably the greatest noise there is.
