Jones just has to call out a few fans then he'll have gone full Mike Kelly.

Only time I could see the Bombers keeping a few players around is at the beginning of training camp. When players are cut or injured the team can quickly replace them and maintain the maximum roster limit. These extra players aren't practicing with the team however. Just have a look at the Bombers' transactions during the regular season for the last hand full of years. Very few players are brought in once the season starts. Most of them are in Sept when the practice roster increases.

The Bombers have kept injured players like Cole around while they healed up. But, there's no proof they were getting paid by the team. Cole also didn't practice with the team while he wasn't on the roster. I wonder if Sears practiced in Regina when he wasn't on the team. I remember the Riders got fined a few years ago when they had a guy practicing with the team before they officially signed him.

I think the Riders believe its still training camp;

GBill got his info from a post I made on the other forum. I got the intel from a media member in town. Yesterday Gary Lawless confirmed the bonus on twitter;

Bombers next opponent;

How does someone get injured during walkthrough? This is the 2nd time this year the Riders have made changes after they announce their 46 man roster. They should have to stick to the roster they initially submitted to the league. That's why they allow for a 2 man reserve.

Lol, I'll hold onto it. I kind of cherish the fact that its rare. At a Bomber fan forum a few years back they were giving away jerseys off the backs of 5 or 6 players. Guys like Chris Matthews were there and the winners got to pick which jersey they wanted. Guess who was the last to win.

I won a 3XL Chris Kowalczuk jersey. I might be only person that's not a relative of his that owns one. The jersey is perfect if I ever need to wear something over a couple of parkas to a game.

It worked for the TiCats in 2013, well against the Bombers at least. They had Burris as the clear number one but LeFevour who would come in as a change up option.

Frederick isn't eligible for ROTY as he's played some NFL regular season games.

Is that with the regular Bombers or mini Bombers? Da Bombers

I wouldn't want Shawn Lemon on the Bombers. I've soured on him since he walked out on the team after 3 days in 2011.

I know what you are saying but Riderfans seem to feel that Newsome had a great camp and just beat out Lemon. Knox is another guy that was expected to start but he's apparently been banged up during camp.

Lol. There's no shenanigans with the Rider's depth chart. Players are listed at the positions there were practicing at during training camp. Jones had at least 8 guys working out in new positions in camp.

Oh and Ricky Collins, one of the Riders' starting SBs were released by the Bombers after mini camp this year.

Hubbard was at practice today.

And that 6th olineman - Hason Hazine just converted from the dline this year. But that's none of my business.

I know you're just joking but on the subject of Buckner he signed with the TiCats today.

I received a call today. I order a Harris on the Friday that they went on sale. Hopefully, Andrew isn't too injured, as I seem to be a bit of a curse when I get current players on jerseys.

And take Darvin Adams and Chad Rempel with you. Regarding Romby Bryant, he sure wasn't a star player in 2009. As much as some people blame Kelly I think Bryant had a me first attitude and gave up on the team.

I made the list myself by going through the roster. As for the status of the players, the Wpg Sun has updates on lots of the guys and for the rest I just checked twitter for confirmation of their injuries.

I made a list of the guys not playing on Monday: Jeff Keeping C - knee, 6-8 weeks Travis Bond OL - injured, didn't practice June 10th Aundrey Walker OL - injured, week to week Kris Adams WR - coming off injury Weston Dressler WR - injured, week to week Addison Richards WR - hand, 2-3 weeks Justin Veltung WR - injured, week to week Alex Vitt WR - injured, week to week Pascal Lochard RB - injured, week to week Justin Medlock K - healthy Chad Rempel LS - injured, week to week Euckid Cummings DL - healthy Sam Scott DL - injured, week to week Keith Shologan DL - healthy Jamal Westerman DL - healthy Jake Thomas DT - healthy Jesse Briggs LB - injured, week to week Shayne Gauthier LB - injured Sam Hurl LB - mid-body, week to week Derrell Johnson LB - injured, week to week Kyle Knox LB - knee, out 6 weeks Johnny Adams DB - injured, 2 or 3 more weeks Donald Celiscar DB - injured, injured on June 11th Johnny Patrick DB - injured, week to week

Medlock's holder is Dressler who also isn't playing. Dressler and Medlock work on holding techniques at every practice. I'm sure they will be ok.

For a few years there was a limit to the amount of roster moves teams could make (believe it was 12) after training camp started. Looks like they did away with that rule.
