The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will begin to salvage something from their 2010 season today and with two new players in tow.

The squad, 2-6 and in last place in the CFL’s East Division, returned to practice today following the bye week with defensive lineman Jeremy Maddox (6-0, 263, Alabama A & M) and offensive tackle Marlon Winn (6-6, 325, Texas Tech) on the field.

Maddox was named a First-Team All-SWAC All-Star after leading the conference in sacks in 2009 with 12 and racking up 41 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss and forcing two fumbles while playing end, but the Bombers may take a look at him at tackle. Maddox currently sits second in school history behind current Indianapolis Colts star Robert Mathis in sacks and tackles for loss.

Winn started three years at Tech while playing both right and left tackle and earned an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention as a senior. Winn went undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft but signed as a free agent with the Minnesota Vikings. He was released in June.
