Last post by gobombersgo - August 19, 2026, 08:52:25 PMEthan Ball likely out for season for Winnipeg Blue Bombers
by 3Down Staff August 19, 2026
It appears the Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be without Canadian defensive back Ethan Ball for the rest of the 2026 season.
"It's gonna be tough to see him again the rest of the season, for sure," head coach Mike O'Shea told the media on Wednesday. "He was another key piece — extremely smart, gifted athletically, hyper competitive, so that certainly hurts."
The six-foot, 192-pound defender played three regular-season games this year, making one defensive tackle and one special teams tackle. According to Winnipeg's injury report, he is dealing with an Achilles injury.
The 24-year-old was a sixth-round pick in the 2025 CFL Draft. He played 13 regular-season games as a rookie, recording nine special teams tackle.
The Regina native finished his collegiate career at the University of Calgary in 2024, making 27 total tackles, 0.5 tackles for loss, two pass knockdowns, and one fumble recovery.
Brady Oliveira did not practice this week due to an ankle injury, though O'Shea indicated that he expects the start running to play on Friday night.

Last post by Stats Junkie - August 19, 2026, 08:13:46 PMGood - Sergio Castillo briefly set a CFL record for most 50+ yard field goals in a career.
Bad - CFL took the record away after a review
Ugly - The review involved a play that took place 4 weeks ago
BTW - the kick was from 49 yards away.

Quote from: CFL Game NotesCareer 50+ Yd FGs Made Update: Last week with Sergio Castillo making a 56-yarder vs Ottawa he was shown as having a new CFL career record of 41 made 50+ yard FGs. However to be absolutely certain and to do no disservice to record holder Troy Westwood, based on video evidence provided to CFL Stats this week a review was required. It was very clear that a Castillo FG made attempt on Jul 24/26 v CGY was actually good from 49 yards and not 50 (due primarily to the angle which FG plays can be viewed).
BTW - the kick was from 49 yards away.
