Zach Injury Watch - Calgary pre-game thread

Collaros at practice, but not participating today. Drew Wolitarsky is practicing.

Yep. Not dressed. Not practicing. Street clothes.

Collaros not practising is not yet an issue. Gives D. Brown more 1st reps should he need to play more this week. Call it a vet day for Collaros as a precaution. IMO he may not practice at all this week but I'd expect him to start this week.

If he's cleared to play, he plays.

Brown getting first team reps is a great opportunity for him and allows Collaros some time to rest up more for Friday night.

I read it differently....if he is there but in street clothes I interpret it to not look promising to play.....but what do I know?

This could be the moment we've been dreading since they traded for Zach, he could potentially miss a few games and end up on an IR depending on the severity of his injury.  Guess we won't know much until later in the week.

No point in being in uniform if they want to avoid any hits etc.

i still think he will practice during the closed practice and MOS won't say whether he is playing until gameday.  Making Calgary even do a minute more of prep is worth not saying until the last possible second needed.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

I assume he's not 100% because he isn't practicing. In that case, I'd just rest him. It's going to come down to us and BC and whether we get the cold weather game in Winnipeg or the indoor game in BC it won't make much a difference. The dome lets us run a summer offense which we're probably tops in the league at. The cold weather we get the home crowd and experience in those conditions. If I could choose, I'd play in Winnipeg but the indoors is almost as good for us even if we're working into a crowd noise. Our last two byes come late in the season that the extra rest might be as bad as it is good.

Does the "Questionable" status mean anything at this point? It seems like guys with that status on the final injury report before a game usually end up playing.

And does Out Indefinitely mean for the rest of the season?  Vague in my opinion.

[Sir Blue and Gold]

Nah. Most likely means they are on the 6-game.

[Jesse]

And does Out Indefinitely mean for the rest of the season?  Vague in my opinion.

Indefinitely just means they don't know when they'll be back.

[Waffler]

Missing one practice on a full week does not mean he won't play... yet. He doesn't need to practice, he hits Demski, Lawler and Schoen in his sleep by now. Slightly concerning though.
