Following the team's bye week, Domagala was promoted to the active roster and made his regular season professional debut on August 27, 2021, in a game against the Montreal Alouettes.[6] He converted his first career field goal attempt which was from 12 yards out and finished the game with two field goals out of four attempts and had five kickoffs for a 60.6-yard average.[6] He played in six regular season games in 2021 where he connected on seven of ten field goal attempts and had 25 punts with a 43.4-yard average.[7] He also played in all three post-season games where he made all six field goal attempts, including 3-for-3 in the 108th Grey Cup loss to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[7]
In 2022, Domagala played in 17 regular season games where he made 12 of 16 field goal attempts and punted 65 times for an average of 44.8 yards.[7] He became a free agent upon the expiry of his contract on February 14, 2023.[8]
