If Mitchell had the 1st Rider game earlier in the season he'd have more leeway. Not being able to get onto the AR for so long takes that away. We've only got 6 games left and based on his 1st 5 games, that window should be closed.

All depends what Echols is showing them in practice and Sterns recovery, there's always the hope Mitchell can return to the form he showed with the Elks, whether he can or not depends a lot on Zach's health status. Mitchell has already spent time in the doghouse for not being prepared at the start of the season, I think they'll hold onto him in a backup capacity for the rest of the season at this point.

Keeping in mind he was signed on a 1 year deal for $148K with a lot of that up front. He needed to be be an impact immediately not slowly as a developmental player.

Compare that to Sterns output for $90K.

Can't argue with that.  Didn't know we got Sterns for $90!!!!

PJ don't panic but he is now.  Where is Peavy Mart when I need it!!!!

This is not a surprise. The question is whether Collaros can play this week, is moved to 1 game IR or 6 game IR. I'm not expecting him to play but whether he's finished for the season and / or his career is a bit up in the air.

Bombers never seem to make those announcements early. The Stamps OTOH announced a season ending injury to one of their star DL.

Check the " Unofficial roster " string. It has contract duration and cost for most players. I was looking at that this morning. As usual we have most of our roster as potential free agents. It's not unusual in an era of 1 year contract but it's alarming at the same time.

Nice never have checked that sticky

Anybody have updates from practice? I've only heard that Parker and Sterns were running sprints but not practising. Doesn't seem they will play this week.

Good sign though!

Could mean they start to practice next week and be ready two weeks down the road.

Agree

The fact that Colleros did not practice today was no surprise. Zach doesn't need to practice this week and could  start anyways. The fact that Colleros wasn't even dressed at practice is concerning though.

Nichols and K. Wilson also listed as " DNP " today. That's not good. It does pose an interesting question about who would start at WIL if he doesn't play.

If Nichols is out, I'm not sure how they make that adjustment. Some combination of Griffin, Kramdi and Makonzo?

If just Wilson is out would be Cadwallader, Woodbey and Griffin maybe rotating.  If both are out we got trouble.  Couple key cogs there.
