Blue Bombers QB Zach Collaros leaves game against Lions with apparent injury

VANCOUVER - Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros exited their crucial game against the B.C. Lions due to an apparent injury. Collaros, a 38-year-old American, was taken down by Lions’ defensive lineman Nathan Cherry in the third quarter, prompting medical personnel to attend to him for several minutes before he was escorted to the sideline medical tent.

The Blue Bombers subsequently announced on social media that Collaros was "out for the remainder of the game", although he remained on the bench for the conclusion of the match. Quarterback Dru Brown took over and subsequently scored a touchdown pass to Dorian Singer shortly after his substitution. Throughout the game, Collaros completed nine of his 21 passing attempts for 105 yards, but also picked off an interception.

The Blue Bombers, currently standing at 8-9, require a victory against the Lions (10-7) to secure a playoff berth for the 10th consecutive season.
