Inland Waterways » nearly two full weeks went by with some

Following an injury to his throwing shoulder on September 13 that forced him to leave the game and not return, nearly two full weeks went by with some really big questions hovering around the status of Winnipeg Blue Bombers franchise quarterback Drew Willy and whether hed be ready to go for a pivotal game against the East Division-leading Hamilton Tiger-Cats. One could suppose the Bombers Week 13 bye week a€” their first of the season a€” couldnt have come at a better time. I was here all week working with (head athletic therapist) Al (Couture), kind of doing a bunch of different treatments, said Willy of his so-called week off. Just basically doing anything I could do to get the range of motion and strength back. I feel fine. Im ready to play and looking forward to going out there. Yet concern was understandable. Eight days after going down in a heap with just seconds remaining in the first half of their 26-9 loss to the B.C. Lions, the Blue Bombers returned to practice, but Willy was a spectator a€” the suspected sprain to his throwing shoulder allowing doubt to remain as to whether or not he would be able to lead his reeling 6-6 team into battle in six daysa€? time. But as Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday came and went Willy began to throw and look more and more comfortable in practice, progressively improving on his velocity, distance, and the quantity of throws attempted in practice. Saturday, the durable Willy will make his 13th-consecutive regular season start for the Blue and Gold, looking to keep his teams playoff hopes alive without dipping below the .500 mark for the first time this season. Watch the game on TSN1, 3, 4, 5 and TSN GO at 6:30pm et/3:30pm pt. He progressed nicely through the week, feels good, so well roll with Drew, said head coach Mike OShea on the eve of what may be his clubs most important game of the year. The (decision) process was; Drew said he was going to be ready, at the end of the bye week he progressed quite nicely, and each and every morning after throwing he said, yeah, I think I can go more, and he did to the point where he was able to start and feel good, and we were very comfortable with how he was playing and how he looked out there. The standings have no bearing on this decision. While that may be the case, sitting in last place in the West and riding a three-game losing streak, the Bombers need to get back on the winning track. Four of their six remaining games are against Western opponents, with two of their final three versus the powerful Calgary Stampeders, and the team theyre chasing for the potential crossover playoff spot, the Lions, sandwiched in between. NOTES: In another just-in-time healing scenario, versatile defender Johnny Sears returns to the lineup for the first time since mid-July when he suffered a hamstring injury, as halfback Bruce Johnson suffered a heel contusion... Marvin Booker, who made his first start at defensive end in Week 12, is back for more as Jason Vega and Kashawn Fraser remain out with knee injuries... Right tackle Cordaro Howard is out this week with various whatnots, according to OShea, so recent signee Devin Tyler will make his first start since joining the team late last month, and will be tasked with protecting Drew Willys tender right side... Slotback Nick Moore will miss a third-consecutive game with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the Labour Day Classic, but looks close to returning soon... Middle linebacker Ian Wild, who suffered a shoulder burner in the Labour Day game remains out this week. His prognosis remains muddy as the injury has kept him out quite a while longer than initially expected... Rookie Canadian O-lineman Matthias Goossen returns to Winnipegs 46-man roster this week. He has been out for over a month with various whatnots. Tahir Whitehead Jersey .
