Winnipeg quarterback Zach Collaros sits with thorax injury, Chris Streveler gets the start as Bombers host Ottawa Redblacks
Chris Streveler will make his first start in almost five years, but the Blue Bombers quarterback isn’t feeling any nerves as the team continues to seek its first win of the season.
Streveler is excited to make his first start since Oct. 19, 2019. Winnipeg had acquired Collaros in a trade with the Toronto Argonauts 10 days earlier. Streveler had thrown Winnipeg’s first touchdown pass of the season, a 16-yard strike to Drew Wolitarsky that tied the game 19-19 with 37 seconds left in regulation.
When he signed with Winnipeg earlier this year, teammates and fans welcomed back his high-energy, bruising style of play. “Strev is definitely an extrovert to the max. Energy guy, bringing guys up, taking hits, delivering hits. He’s going to be active in that sense.”“I’m sure we’re going to be saying, `Hey buddy, maybe use the slide a little bit, not headfirst this time,”' Wolitarsky said with a smile.“I play the game the way that I play it, but I do understand when I’m playing a full game it’s not quite the same as when I’m getting eight carries and a wedge,” he said.
It’s the first time Ottawa has started a season 2-1 since 2019, but both wins have been at home. The Redblacks are currently on a seven-game losing streak on the road.
