Masoli to Start as Bombers Return Collaros for Saturday Rematch in Vancouver

The Lions will emphasize stopping the rush in their lineup adjustment against a Bombers team reshaped by player absences.

Overview

  • The B.C. Lions will host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Vancouver on Saturday after losing 34-20 to Winnipeg last week.
  • Jeremiah Masoli will start at quarterback for the Lions after Nathan Rourke was sidelined with a core injury sustained in last week’s defeat.
  • Winnipeg will be without star running back Brady Oliveira, who was ruled out with a shoulder injury, prompting backups to step into the rush attack.
  • Zach Collaros returns to the lineup after serving a one-game suspension and will resume his role under center for the Blue Bombers.
  • The Lions plan to focus on stopping Winnipeg’s rushing game, with defensive linemen Mathieu Betts and Sione Teuhema creating opportunities for linebacker Micah Awe.
