Kyrie Wilson

[Blue In BC]

Yesterday's pre game news was shocking. I thought a separate thread might be appropriate for updates.

All I heard was that it was NOT related to his previous shoulder injury. It's not often a player gets injured in warm ups but it does happen.

I don't know that I've ever seen a player transaction moving him to the 6 game IR that fast. As far as I know we played a man short? If the game was in Winnipeg we might have been able to activate another player off the PR.

Anyway. I can't imagine how he feels with this setback.

Can't stay healthy. I'm sure the news will come out but logically one of those dreaded non-contact injuries (Achilles/knee) is most likely. Since he didn't play, it's like he was extended on the 6-game as that's where he was before so from an SMS perspective it's the best scenario at least.

Kyrie missed last season due to an achilles, no?

Wilson has been with the Bombers for 7 years. Unfortunately he has only played in 48 games since he became a starter in 2019. Ayers has been playing very well in his spot, and it looks like Cole is ready to return.

Time to move on.  Guy can't get healthy never mind stay healthy.

Cole might have a hard time getting the job he never owned back, good chance he's behind Kramdi and Griffin at SLB and behind Ayers at WIL now.

Cole is a solid backup and can play either WIL, or SLB. He's also very good on team.

Good problem to have, really. Walters and the scouting staff deserve some love for the job they have done bringing talented players in here.

Is that true, though?  As far as the roster transactions are concerned he was taken off the 6GIR and onto the AR.  Now we'll have another one putting him back on the IR.  But that doesn't erase the AR transaction!

With less than 6 games left, I wonder if we lose the SMS savings for the remaining games.

If we lose the SMS savings for Wilson because there are only 4 regular season games left, then that would also apply to Bighill (injured labour day game, so 5 games left) and Streveler (injured Banjo bowl, so 4 games left). Since we put both Bighill and Streveler on the 6 game IR, I'm assuming we still get the savings, even with less than 6 games left. But maybe I am wrong, and someone like Stats Junkie can weigh in.

Found this so it actually doesn't matter if he came off and then back on or it's a straight extension. He'll be sms exempt either way:

No Player shall be eligible to be placed on the Six Game Injury List after his Member Club has played its 15th regular season game. Any Player who has been placed on the Six Game Injury List prior to the Member Club's 15th regular season game will be eligible to be extended on the Six Game Injury List for the remainder of the season without penalty. Playoff Games and the Playoff Bye will be considered a game served on the Six Game Injury List. A Bye in the regular season will not be considered a game played.

Durability is his biggest detractor. His age isn't helping his cause now, either.

A shame considering how effective he can be when he does play.

I wouldn't mind trying Cole at safety sometimes. He seems to have the speed and he hits a ton. He could be the eventual replacement for Alexander.

Caught a glimpse of Kyrie on the sideline congratulating Ayers after his fumble recovery, he looked fully functional and was not wearing a walking boot, so maybe his injury is not as bad as feared.

Well that's some good news but there are a lot of body parts that can get injured in warm up. A hand injury or hamstring for example. Those are my guesstimates at the moment.

We might get a better indication on the daily IR report which will tell us why he isn't practising.
