The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will be missing a key part of their offensive line when they play the B.C. Lions tonight, the CFL club announced Friday afternoon.

All-star right guard Patrick Neufeld has been sidelined for an undisclosed personal reason, and while he will remain on the team’s 45-man roster, he has been deemed a healthy scratch and will not dress. Taking his starting spot is Tui Eli, who is in the first of a three-year contract with the Bombers.

Kickoff is at 9 p.m. CT at BC Place.
