Mike O'Shea says
Maurice Leggett will not play this week as he needs a full week of practice before there's a chance of him being ready. Leggett still recovering from torn Achilles, suffered last season. Was a partial participant in practice Monday. #Bombers #CFL

The team has released kicker
F?lix M?nard-Bri?re.
Jeff Hamilton @jeffkhamilton June 10
For those curious as to why K
Felix Menard-Briere was released today and not yesterday when the team released it's long list of cuts, it was because he was given the night to decide whether he wanted a PR spot. He declined the #Bombers offer today and was then issued his release.

The #RedBlacks have announced the addition of K/P
Felix M?nard-Bri?re to their practice roster.
BOMBER REPORT - JUNE 11NOTABLE:
Former Bombers kicking prospect
F?lix M?nard-Bri?re accepted a practice roster agreement with the
Ottawa REDBLACKS on Monday - after turning down a similar opportunity here on the weekend. M?nard-Bri?re was a perfect 4-for-4 in field goal attempts over two pre-season games, but was listed behind veteran
Justin Medlock on the depth chart here, while Ottawa will likely go with two kickers to start the season in Canadian
Lewis Ward for placekicking and import
Richie Leone for punts and kickoffs.
"I really appreciate Felix and the work he did," said O'Shea. "He went out on the field in B.C. and banged a 52 yarder and punted well. He's going to be a successful kicker. But, as I spoke to him, you look at the B.C. situation with
Lui Passaglia... there's a couple hall of famers who had been cut because he had a job for 24 years or whatever it is. It takes so long for kickers to break in. They just have to have the right opportunity. Hopefully, Felix gets an opportunity to get on the field. It would be unfortunate it's not with us, but we've got Justin Medlock and I would say he's the best kicker in the league and maybe the best ever."
