Practice Reports (Via twitter)

Demski/Schoen/Sterns:


Derek Taylor@DTonOB
REC Nic Demski has his helmet today. That's a step forward. Still no Jerreth Sterns (expected with him being on 1-game injured list).

Ed Tait@EdTaitWFC
Good to see both Nic Demski and Dalton Schoen in gear at @Wpg_BlueBombers practice.

Gavin Cobb getting the bulk of work in Demski's spot, FYI. Same as on Tuesday.


Houston:


Derek Taylor@DTonOB
Some reps for DB Demerio Houston with the 1s in place of Dexter Lawson.

And now some reps for Houston in place of Trey Vaval at the other corner.


Ed Tait@EdTaitWFC
Demerio Houston getting more work with the defensive starters at @Wpg_BlueBombers practice

Kramdi:

Derek Taylor@DTonOB
DB Redha Kramdi will miss a 2nd day of practice.
My wife is amazing!

Sounds like neither Sayles or Lokombo practiced today.

But Sask had a Tuesday practice? Meaning a report should have been issued? But crickets on both the CFL and the riders injury page.
Never go full Rider!

OUCH UPDATE: Some more good news on the injury front, although it's not yet a green light — Nic Demski, who left last week's win over Montreal in the first half, was back practising on Wednesday. He wasn't a full participant, with Gavin Cobb still getting a lot of work in his place, but was back in a helmet and shoulder pads.

As well, OL Micah Vanterpool, DB Enock Makonzo and LB Jonathan Jones were all full participants.

Quote from: dd on August 27, 2025, 06:07:49 PMMaybe we ve owned them in the past but gone is kennylawler and dalton schoen, our receiving corps was weak to begin with and now has injuries to demski and sterns,yikes.

Mosaic is always tough to win in a dig Harris plays and demski is out, we don't have the horses to score enough points in the LDC to win it

SSK injury report:

Alford hip full
Bane knee full
Coan hand full
Yoshi personal dnp
D.Johnson shoulder ltd
Lokombo ankle dnp
McCray ankle dnp
Sayles hip dnp
Wiebe knee full
Lauther personal dnp (AHHAHAHAHHAHahahahaha ahahahaha haahahAH!)

* NO MENTION of T.Harris.  In full coverup mode.  We get one legal turf-takedown on him and it's lights out Trevor, probably for both games!

So, Alford/Bane back probably hurts us.  Lokombo/Sayles out helps us.

I think Lokombo presents a ratio issue for them?

They replaced Lokombo with Ford last game, who's also a Nat. He wasn't very good IMO.
I'm assuming if Bane comes on, its for Robustelli. Meyers and Johnson have been pretty good for them.

Bane is IMP, so again, ratio trouble.  Meyers hasn't done much lately, maybe he comes off.  Robustelli as the NAT probably still dresses/starts.  Or at least dresses as backup.

Robustelli is an import. If Bane comes on, I think it will be for him.

Ajou Ajou was just cut by the Colts and passed waivers, if he comes back to the Riders it could spell the end for a Natl. receiver, Tommy Nield, Duncan-Busby, Picton or D'Sean Mimbs one of which likely becomes available.  Considering the Bombers Natl. receiver depth is atrocious, they could do worse.

They ll flood the box and force Zach to pass to god who knows in our receiving corpsw

Oh ya!  I always forget.  He's like Oullette... a player you'd SWEAR was NAT.  But isn't.

Robustelli as an IMP certainly isn't producing enough.  Bane time!
