does this mean McCrae and Walker are Free Agents? as in Cut??? this looks confusing

They have likely been placed on the practice roster.

I feel like if McCrae and Walker are on the practice roster then its a dead give away at 2 active depth chart decisions that have been made...

1. Bailey will be playing
2. Adams will be the extra rotational DE.

That makes sense for the roster juggling aspect. OTOH I initially thought we'd want more depth at DT for run stop ability. It appears the strategy is outside contain / pressure on Rourke. Butler may be less effective and R. Hall might be expecting less inside run game from the Lions? Slippery field will make if more difficult to turn the corner outside for both teams. Good thing that Oliveria is a north /south smash mouth, downhill type of runner.

Western Final:

Ed Tait   @EdTaitWFC
The @Wpg_BlueBombers as healthy as they've been in weeks for the Western Final

John Hodge   @JohnDHodge
Rasheed Bailey is listed as a game-time decision. Michael Couture gets the start at centre. Jamal Parker will start at field-side halfback.

Ted Wyman   @Ted_Wyman
#Bombers roster for West Final vs. Lions reveals that Rasheed Bailey (knee) is a game-time decision. Did not practice Friday and closed walk through today so hard to say which way that will go. #CFL #BCLions

If Bailey can't go, it?s possible Greg McCrae could come back onto the roster as he's currently on the practice roster. Would think he and Brendan O'Leary-Orange would be most likely replacements in starting lineup for Bailey

Bob Irving   @BobIrvingCJOB
Bombers activate CB Desmond Lawrence(who will start) DB Evan Holm, OL Chris Kolankowsi & slotback Nic Demski for Sunday's West final. Lawrence got burned on a couple of contested long passes in BC a few weeks ago but the Bombers liked his coverage skills. See you at IG field.

Grey Cup:

Derek Taylor:
No changes for the Bombers lineup for the Grey Cup. And no special designation for Zach Collaros. He's in.

Keion Adams is a game-time decision. I'd guess Ricky Walker will take Adams' place if he can't go.

Roster stability is important. Obviously lots of players on both teams will not be 100%. Will have to wait and see if Adams can dress tomorrow. Walker would be the likely alternative if he can't.

Not totally surprised they choose to not put Houston on the roster even though he's healthy. He's probably a bit rusty after his rehab from the injury. Lawrence hasn't played badly and I'm not overly impressed with the Argos group of receivers. Stop their run game and they will struggle.
