Oleary Orange is playing, is Woli legit injured?

Yes, he was injured in TC.

Sounds like Wolitarsky could return to the lineup this week.

They've been starting Ternowski in BOO/Woli's place.  I always bash that guy (weak placeholder NAT), but didn't he make some big play last weekend?  Can't remember, but good for him.  Will so much NAT REC quality (i.e. ex-Bombers) in HAM, he'll be on the bubble to be cut.

I dunno but I didn't hear you say much about Clercius's 53 yard receiving game last week including his CLUTCH 35 yard 4th quarter catch down the sideline with the game in the balance.

Wolitarsky isn't listed on the depth chart for this week

Meh, defender fell down before the ball arrived, hard to tell if it would have been a reception otherwise.

Clercius has been stepping up more lately.  He was arguably even better in today's CGY game -- more targets and some tough catches.

I never said Clercius couldn't grow into being the next Woli (or better), I just said it's not a sure thing.  With Woli we knew what we had.  The hope is Clercius will turn out even better.  His size/weight certainly helps.

I think tonight was his first on-air interview.  They don't normally talk to him.

He has a confusing accent, I think he's both French and from Africa.  Don't know if he'll become a Woli, seems like he spent the whole night running the same route over and over. Kudos for his ability to hang onto the ball.

Ofcourse Woli was the more savy player, he had way more playing experience than Clercius.
I think you'll see Clercius continue to grow the next couple years. He has a ton of potential.

Clercius just had a 10 catch game for 78 yards.

Wolitarsky's career reception high? 8 for 90 back in 2018.

He's more than replacing the production.

You and your pesky facts, sir.

Clercius should only get better the more he plays.

And he's replacing peak Woli. Not old injured Woli who couldn't play last year and hasn't played this year.
My wife is amazing!

Clercius played well. No knock on his performance in 2025.
One game at a time.
