Winnipeg Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros intends to play on Saturday

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers' starting quarterback, Zach Collaros, is set to return to action this Saturday in their crucial game against the Calgary Stampeders. Collaros, who has missed the team's last two matches due to a head injury, was fully engaged in practice on Thursday, despite being listed as questionable for the upcoming game.

The quarterback emphasized that his decision to play is based on feeling right and being back on the field, rather than any pressure to return for the championship run. Collaros, known for his history of injuries, including multiple concussions, reiterated that the organization has thoroughly considered his health before making this decision.

"I feel very comfortable with the decision that I’ve made to play this week, that we have as an organization," he stated. The 38-year-old remains undeterred by concerns about his long-term health and has expressed his desire to continue playing in the upcoming season, stating, "Yeah, I do. I like football." The Bombers are currently battling for the final playoff spot, trailing the Stampeders by two points with only three games remaining in the season.
