HAMILTON — Zach Collaros is out of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ lineup for Friday night’s matchup with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The veteran quarterback remains sidelined with a neck injury suffered in last week’s 21-13 loss to Saskatchewan, with backup Chris Streveler starting in his place.
Streveler’s mobility gives Winnipeg a new wrinkle in the backfield alongside Brady Oliveira, who sits fourth in the CFL in rushing.
The Blue Bombers, now 6-6, have lost two straight and are fighting to stay above .500 as they head east.
Hamilton, meanwhile, improved to 7-5 after snapping a three-game skid with a 26-9 victory in Montreal behind Greg Bell’s 154 rushing yards and a touchdown.
The Ticats will also feature receiver Kenny Lawler against his former team for the first time since leaving Winnipeg.
