Hey there, time traveller!

The Blue Bombers haven’t officially ruled out quarterback Drew Willy for Saturday’s game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats — but they’re practising as if his injured shoulder won’t be ready to get the start.
Willy did make a few throws on Sunday afternoon, as the Bombers returned from their bye week, though he largely kept his helmet off, watched from the sideline, and didn’t take regular reps. Those tosses were a “rehab set,” head coach Mike O’Shea said, and the Bombers will practice this week as if Brian Brohm will start against Hamilton.
If Brohm does indeed get the start, O’Shea said, the offence won’t change.
“Not at all,” O’Shea said. “He can make every throw. He can do whatever, he reads well, he does it all.
“We put our faith in him as a number two to come in and run the offence… I look forward to seeing him play.”
Meanwhile, battered linebacker Ian Wild is “working hard to get back” and is possible for Saturday, O’Shea said.
Defensive end Jason Vega and receiver Nick Moore are still out for this week, as is OL Patrick Neufeld.
