Sean McGuire out, Bomber dressed Collaros, Brown vs. Stamps

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers turned things around at quarterback heading into their final regular season game against Calgary.

Sean McGuire is sidelined with a groin injury after struggling on his CFL debut last week. Zach Collaros is back in his familiar place and listed as a starter for Saturday night’s contest, though it remains unclear how far he will see the field.

McGuire completed just 11-of-27 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in Winnipeg’s loss to Montreal last week.

Collaros was named the Blue Bombers’ Player of the Year with 3,112 yards this season, throwing 20 touchdowns and six interceptions. He has struggled with injury in the past, but if he were to miss this match, it would be nearly a month between his start with Winnipeg hosting the Western Finals on December 5.

As for Dru Brown, he is yet to make a pass in the CFL, joining the Bombers during the 2020 low season.

The California native threw 2,488 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in fourteen games in his second season in Hawaii. He returned as a full-time starter for his junior season and threw for 2,785 yards, 18 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.

Brown transferred to Oklahoma State for his senior season in 2019 and served as team captain. He saw action in seven games, completing 72 passes for 810 yards, seven touchdowns and one intercept.

With the West Division finished, Winnipeg (11-2) travel to Calgary to take on the Stampeders (7-6) Saturday night at McMahon Stadium.
