Philpot's gear was placed back in his old Dinos locker by Alouettes equipment staff. His signature is on the Dinos dressing room wall, right under that locker, where it has sat unchanged since 2022.
The 113th Grey Cup, Montreal against Edmonton, is at McMahon Stadium on Sunday at 5 p.m. Alberta Time, broadcast on CTV and TSN.
Dinos head coach Ryan Sheehan left him a note. "Just wishing me best of luck. And he said, 'Don't leave here without the ring,'" Philpot said.
He described the signature this way: "Signed right under my locker, and it hadn't moved since I was back here in '22."
Philpot spoke at Wednesday's Grey Cup media day at the BMO Centre. Asked about the week, he said: "Vibes have been awesome."
Philpot was the CFL's leading receiver in 2026 and is 26 years old. He won a Grey Cup in 2023, catching the game-winning touchdown from Cody Fajardo as the Alouettes beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, their first title since 2010. This is his third Grey Cup in four campaigns.
Tickets are being sold through resale at McMahon Stadium.
