Not surprised.

I'm a bit surprised at Korny. I thought he was a long-term project. He was doing ok in my good/bad scoring (2 good / 0 bad). However, he probably wasn't making as much of an impact as we wanted.

As a NAT at a tought-to-NAT position, he'll probably get looks elsewhere.

Tecno · August 12, 2026, 10:13:04 PM

And could this be more of a case of a IR -> PR/AR numbers thing rather than any sort of recent performance punishment?

IOW, we might see Korny back if injuries hit again?

I don't often post or comment here but I am because,imo, Kornelson being cut was long overdue. He has not played well when given the chance and I would be surprised if he's picked up by any other team.

Not up to speed regarding the PR spots (how many can you have etc) so does this open spots up for adding some new bodies on the PR?

If I understand the rule correctly.

Standard size of the PR is 10.
Max is 12 with 2 Globe players
Min. 2 Canadian players.
Max. 9 American players.

I am thinking some players are coming off of the IR and the Bombers are opening up spots on the PR.

I thought they increased the PR this season. Either way we have 13 on the PR but only 1 global. That would suggest we're over? There will be more activity today.

Elgersma and Vanterpool likely go to RR.

Max practice roster size is now 12. 2 extra spots were added in the off-season, one of the two spots needs to be a Canadian. Somewhat related teams can choose their 30 day window to add 5 additional spots to the PR which is obviously usually timed to NFL camps.

GOLDMEMBER · August 13, 2026, 01:47:14 PM

I think made a grand total of 2 plays his entire time here.
We given loads of opportunity.

Kornelson's release should come as no surprise; he seems like a fringe/depth player at best.

I guess this means Lawson's good to go...?

I think we'll get Lawson back early from the 6 game IR. The downside is that he can't stay healthy. The fact we added Hazen suggests our need on the DL was slightly less with Lawson returning.

Clark must be returning as well since Novak was bumped to the PR.

Depth chart on Facebook does show Lawson, Collaros and Broxton back. OTOH it shows Oliveria as a GTD? He's been nicked for a while. All the more reason to add Peterson as in game depth.

Roster on CFL.CA does show Clark back on AR. However Vibert doesn't show anywhere after being moved to RR then PR?
