Montreal — Zach Collaros could potentially play in the East Division final after all. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have listed Collaros (ribs) as a game-time decision, with the club announcing at least 30 minutes before the 3 p.m. kickoff against the Montreal Alouettes whether the 38-year-old quarterback will suit up. Head coach Mike O'Shea confirmed that the Bombers give veteran players like Collaros every opportunity to play until they cannot.
Collaros participated in some practices but was limited in Wednesday's closed practice and absent on Thursday. He told reporters that he felt good after Wednesday's practice and would play if given the chance. Quarterback Dru Brown will start if Collaros isn't cleared. Brown expressed appreciation for Collaros' resiliency and performance in the Grey Cup semifinal. Both players seem excited about the opportunity to represent their teams in the crucial game.
