Overview
- Zach Collaros left Sunday’s game after taking a blindside hit and is being treated for a neck injury; he did not practice this week and is listed as questionable to play.
- The team held a closed practice and head coach Mike O’Shea declined to name who led the first-string offence, saying the official depth chart will confirm the starter on Thursday.
- Recent acquisition Dru Brown did not dress in the previous game because he was still learning the playbook, but he has limited practice reps this week and is being considered to start.
- The official injury report lists seven players affected, with five — Kevens Clercius, Lane Novak, Ethan Ball, Tanner Schmekel and Da’Shaan Dixon — ruled out and offensive lineman Tui Eli listed as questionable.
- If Collaros cannot play, the Bombers face a late change at quarterback that could disrupt offensive timing and force more reliance on short-preparation reps for Brown or other backups.
