CALGARY – Winnipeg Blue Bomber defensive end Odell Willis won’t be MIA this weekend after all.

Willis left the team earlier this week under a cloud of uncertainy — the club said it was personal reasons, a CFL source indicated it was a work visa issue — and it was believed he wouldn’t be available for Saturday’s game against the Calgary Stampeders.

But a team official said this morning that Willis would accompany the club to Calgary today for its pre-game walk-through practice at McMahon Stadium after flying back to Winnipeg on Thursday.

Odell Willis, seen in action against Edmonton last Saturday, is going to Calgary with the Bombers.

Willis will be made available to the media after practice to clarify the matter.

Armond Willis has been practising all week in Odell Willis’ spot but injured his left hamstring on Thursday and will not accompany the team.
