QB Collaros Anxious to Return to Action as Bombers Prepare to Host Winless Redblacks
Zach Collaros returns after missing four games, and Winnipeg needs a win to end a two-game skid and keep pace in the West Division.
- On Friday, quarterback Zach Collaros returned to start for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Ottawa Redblacks at Princess Auto Stadium. The veteran rejoined the lineup after missing four games with a neck injury, aiming to end Winnipeg's two-game skid.
- Winnipeg enters this contest with a 4-4 record, struggling after double-digit losses to the Lions and Calgary Stampeders. The team's recent defensive performance, including allowing 377 rushing yards against the Lions, raised concerns about maintaining their West Division playoff position.
- Before his injury, Collaros completed 71 percent of his passes for 985 yards and five touchdowns. "The organization, since I got here, has always put my interests first," Collaros said, providing a boost for a Blue Bombers offense tied with Ottawa for the fewest offensive touchdowns, with 16.
- Seeking their first victory after recent roster and coaching staff changes, Ottawa arrives winless at 0-8. Head coach Ryan Dinwiddie fired defensive coordinator William Fields last week, as the team continues a 14-game losing streak dating back to last year.
- Facing a demanding upcoming schedule, the Blue Bombers must secure this result. They play the Edmonton Elks and Montreal Alouettes before a critical doubleheader against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the annual Labour Day Classic and Banjo Bowl.
