Dru Brown Returns as Redblacks Starter for TD Place Matchup With Slumping Blue Bombers

Winnipeg arrives on a three-game skid with Zach Collaros sidelined.

Redblacks punter Richie Leone has been away from the team and will miss Saturday’s game against the Blue Bombers following the death of his mother.

Overview

  • Ottawa confirmed Brown will start after a knee injury sustained on Aug. 14 versus Winnipeg, having posted 1,842 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions in seven starts.
  • Chris Streveler gets the nod for Winnipeg and carries 10 interceptions on the season after throwing two in last week’s loss at Hamilton.
  • The Redblacks have produced just four points across their last seven opening quarters and hold a minus-87 first-half point differential.
  • Ottawa will be without punter Richie Leone for personal reasons along with running back William Stanback and right tackle Parker Moorer, while returner Devonte Dedmon is back.
  • Winnipeg placed Nick Hallett and Michael Griffin II on the one-game injured list and will have defensive back Jamal Parker available after a six-game absence.
