Official Game Day Thread - Winnipeg at Montreal, July 1, 2023

What the heck is up with Jeffcoat?

He is practising he is not. No mention whether he is in or out.

Guy is more drama than a Danielle Steel novel!

Stegall said he is back I believe

let's hope he can stay healthy for more than a game or two.....

[Pete]

based on history I'm not sure he'll make it thru the whole game. One more injury and you'd have to think even O'Shea will say uncle.

BREAKING: Nic Demski won't be available tonight for the Blue Bombers against the Montreal Alouettes, as he awaits birth of child. DB Redha Kramdi, who injured himself at practice late in the week, is also out. That's created a few more issues with roster, creating more changes.

That will make it interesting in terms of how they manage the ratio. Any ideas?

I think they knew that was going to be the case.

O'Leary-Orange starts instead of Agudosi which would allow Darby to start on defence.  I think it's the lesser of two problems.

The depth  chart doesn't show Szott but the roster shows he's listed. I wonder if they also add Murphy for this game for depth and to meet the number of Canadians on the roster. There aren't too many Canadians left on the PR.

Here is the update.

The @Wpg_BlueBombers have made some last minute roster adjustments for today's game:
Added Canadian WR Jeremy Murphy, LB Brian Cole to the active roster. WR Carlton Agudosi and LB Redha Kramdi moved to the one-game injured list.
Also, Nic Demski will not dress tonight.

That's a lot of changes for the game. Some forced due to injury / availability. Some by returning players from IR rosters.

Adding Cole instead of retaining Fox or even Jackson is a bit of a surprise. I'm not complaining but he may add more on ST's that's needed for cover teams.

That is tough...

I have no problem with BOO. Not ND10, but who is. Is Cole backing up, Darby?

[gordo]

So I know Prukop is back but is Pigrome officially gone or is he on the PR ?

Shame to see him out.  Thought we could develop him.

IIRC Cole was a DI at times in 2022 but on the PR most of the time.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

On July 13, 2022, Cole signed a practice roster agreement with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[12]

[GOLDMEMBER]

Sucky news in Demski but we should have all the depth at WR we need. Lawler would have been great but not yet.

Lol. Okay, the question wasn't who is Cole. The question was, is Cole backing up Darby?

Nobody...but likely Cole
