Vancouver – Quarterback Zach Collaros of the Blue Bombers was forced out of the must-win game against the B.C. Lions due to an apparent injury.

Collaros completed nine of his 21 passing attempts for 105 yards and intercepted the ball before his injury.
The Blue Bombers, currently sitting at 8-9, require a victory against the Lions, who are at 10-7, to secure a playoff spot for the 10th consecutive season.
