The injury to Bomber QB Buck Pierce — a knee strain that will keep him out for at least this week’s game against Edmonton – means the club has airlifted in another pivot for a look-see.

The new guy is former Purdue starter Joey Elliott and he’ll be on the field Tuesday as the Bombers prepare for Saturday’s home date against the Eskimos. Elliott (6-2, 216) was not selected in April’s NFL Draft but signed a free-agent deal with the Philadelphia Eagles before being released.
