Zach Collaros will be absent from the upcoming game between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday night due to a neck injury sustained in the previous match against Saskatchewan. As a result, Chris Streveler will step in as the starting quarterback in Collaros’ absence.
Streveler’s agility adds a new dynamic to Winnipeg’s offensive strategy alongside running back Brady Oliveira, who ranks fourth in the CFL for rushing yards. The Blue Bombers, with a current record of 6-6, are striving to break a two-game losing streak and maintain a winning record as they travel to face their eastern opponents.
On the other hand, Hamilton has boosted their record to 7-5 after ending a three-game losing streak with a convincing 26-9 win over Montreal. This victory was fueled by Greg Bell’s impressive performance, amassing 154 rushing yards and a touchdown. Additionally, the Tiger-Cats will showcase Kenny Lawler, a former Blue Bombers receiver, facing his old team for the first time since his departure.
