Overview

  • Zach Collaros returned to the field in full gear but did not take offensive reps as practice opened for Week 16.
  • Chris Streveler handled all first‑team snaps at Tuesday’s session ahead of Saturday’s game in Ottawa.
  • Head coach Mike O’Shea declined to update Collaros’s status and said evaluations will continue through the next two practices.
  • Collaros left the Sept. 6 Banjo Bowl with a head injury and missed the Hamilton game, and his concussion history has fueled public calls for retirement from some commentators, including TSN’s Milt Stegall.
  • Winnipeg is 6-7 and tied for a playoff spot in the West, with Jamal Parker and Jerreth Sterns limited in practice and Michael Griffin sitting out with a knee issue; Streveler has 10 interceptions and acknowledged the turnover problem.
