Winnipeg Blue Bombers cut two from training camp roster, sign three
by 3Down Staff  May 25, 2026

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released American defensive backs Shyheim Battle and Robert Javier from their training camp roster, the team announced on Monday.

Battle signed with the team in January after spending the 2025 season in the now-defunct European League of Football with the Frankfurt Galaxy, where he made 68 total tackles, four tackles for loss, 10 pass breakups, an interception, and a forced fumble.

The six-foot-three, 196-pound defender attended North Carolina State University, where he racked up 144 tackles, six tackles for loss, one sack, seven interceptions, 32 pass breakups, and one fumble recovery across 48 games. He was twice named an honourable mention All-ACC selection with the Wolfpack.

The native of Rocky Mount, N.C. signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft, but was released before training camp. He dressed for Winnipeg's 31-27 preseason loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday but didn't register a statistic.

Javier
joined the Blue Bombers as a free agent in February. He spent time on the practice roster with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2024 and attended training camp with the team in 2025, though he was released as part of final roster cuts.

The six-foot-one, 195-pound defender originally signed with the Tennessee Titans after going unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft, but was cut by the team at the end of training camp.

The native of Bronx, N.Y. recorded two tackles and one pass knockdown against the Roughriders on Saturday.

The Blue Bombers have also signed American receiver Kenneth Womack and American defensive linemen Arnold Young and Michael Fletcher. All three players were recently released but have now returned to the team.

Back to camp for the Bombers today. They announce two roster moves. Javier appeared to injure his right shoulder in Saturday's game. And Battle has been working through injuries since before rookie camp.

 Javier was injured and needed help off, likely why he was released today

I've heard numerous times it was more about the opportunity to play for Lapo and how Lapo was planning to use him.

Quote from: Blue In BC on May 25, 2026, 09:30:10 PMLots of interesting comments elsewhere about some possible changes.

1. Smith starting at WIL.
2. Andrews over Sheehan
3. Stuart making the AR.

I wouldn't discount any of those ideas. They all have a basis. IMO I think item 1 and 3 have the most chance. Andrews ends up on the PR to start the season unless we get a trade offer for Sheehan.

One problem with that is we only have 3 globals in total on the roster at the moment. Not even enough to fully use the dedicated PR spots.



Smith was outstanding on teams last year. I would think he gets more time on D this year. He could be ready to start??

I thought Stuart was a great pick, and figured he would make the AR. The kids a swiss army knife.

Andrews over Sheehan. Not sure about that.

Avs are done. As good as they are, there's no way they're coming back to win 4 straight against the Golden Knights

I d leave Collaros in until the offense is hitting on all cylinders/have their timing figured out at game speed. We don't want a repeat of last year when the offense looked awful to start the season off, and I know you have to evaluate new players but lets get the offense clicking before we sub out

Quote from: Blue In BC on May 25, 2026, 09:32:40 PMYeah, there is no really good or bad choice as long as we can protect him. One quarter or 1 1/2 would be the limit. If his first few series go well then it could be shorter playing time.

The other 2 QB's do need some playing time. If Wilson was still here it might be a slightly different worry about experience.

Both teams will play veterans for awhile longer this week.
Yup just keep him upright is all we ask
Sometimes the flow of the game dictates more that set quarters
