The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are sticking with Dru Brown at quarterback against the B.C. Lions. <\/p>\n
With starting quarterback Zach Collaros still recovering from a neck injury, Brown will make his fourth consecutive start in place of the two-time MOP for the Blue Bombers (4-3), the team announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Brown is 2-1, but is coming off a four-interception outing in a 52-30 loss to the Calgary Stampeders.<\/p>\n
Salter will make his first career start with the Lions in need of a win in Week 9 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the team confirmed Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Salter took the majority of first-team reps at practice this week ahead of Thursday’s game in Winnipeg.<\/p>\n
This will be the third different quarterback the Lions will start this season after Nathan Rourke, the 2025 CFL MOP, was placed on the six-game injured list last week with a shoulder injury to his non-throwing arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chase Brice started last week against the Argos, but was ineffective and replaced by Salter late in a 26-12 loss. Salter, who played his final college season for Colorado last season, completed nine of 15 passes for 121 yards against the Argos.<\/p>\n
Lions star QB Nathan Rourke, the 2025 CFL MOP, was placed on the six-game injured list last week with a shoulder injury to his non-throwing arm. He was listed as limited on Monday’s injury report.<\/p>\n
The Lions (1-5) are in desperate need of a win to stay afloat in the West Division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are sticking with Dru Brown at quarterback against the B.C.
