CFL Insiders Dave Naylor and Farhan Lalji discuss how bad of a look it would be for Ottawa if QB Dru Brown and the Bombers go in and lay a beating on the Redblacks not long after Brown was traded back to Winnipeg, when Ottawa might replace starter Jake Maier with McLeod Bethel-Thompson, the Ticats adding some potential reinforcements at quarterback, and more.
Vernon Adams Jr. has thrown 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions to start the season with the Stampeders, but can he break the record for most TD's without an interception set by Ricky Ray in 2013? TSN's CFL analyst Henoc Muamba shares his thoughts on this and more in Wednesday's edition of Hot or Not.
Dru Brown received first-team reps at Blue Bombers practice on Wednesday as Zach Collaros continues to work his way back from a neck injury. Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander suffered an injury scare last week but is good to go against the Stampeders on Saturday.
The Bombers took the practice field Tuesday in preparation for the team’s Week 7 matchup against the Redblacks, with the quarterback situation being the focus.
