Bombers look to rally vs. Redblacks
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers prepare to face the Ottawa Redblacks, a team they cannot afford to underestimate. The team's head coach Mike O'Shea admitted that their recent performance against the B.C. Lions was "inexcusable." The Lions dominated the game, outscoring the Bombers 25-3 in the fourth quarter, and rushed for a franchise-record 377 yards.
Starting quarterback Zach Collaros, who has been out with a neck injury since July 5, participated in practice on Sunday. Collaros is expected to return to action against the Redblacks on Friday, along with backup Dru Brown, who left the B.C. game in the fourth quarter with a lower-back injury. Both players' return does not guarantee the Bombers' defense will improve, as two key players, Redha Kramdi and Michael Griffin, remain sidelined.
The Bombers face a challenging week ahead, with games against Edmonton, Montreal, and Saskatchewan. O'Shea emphasized the importance of the Redblacks' game, stating that the Bombers must expect their best and not be complacent.
