WINNIPEG--Winnipeg Blue Bomber wide receiver Derick Armstrong was not at practice today.

Armstrong refused to play in the Bombers' last  game against the Eddmonton Eskimos on July 2 after coach Mike Kelly put him a back-up role.
No reason has been given for Armstrong’s absence at practice.

Wide receiver Kyle Smith took the practice field with the Bombers today. Smith has been injured since training camp, but with Armstrong's status up in the air the team wanted to get a better look at him.

More information to follow as details become available.
