WINNIPEG, MB., May 11, 2017 –  The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce the club has invited Winnipeg Rifles wide receivers Xander Tachinski (#73) and Brendan Naujoks (#74), running back Michael Ritchott (#76), and defensive back Andrew Ricard (#77) to take part in the club’s three-day rookie camp commencing Wednesday, May 24. The players will continue with the team through the first part of the main training camp.

Tachinski and Ritchott attended part of last season’s rookie camp, and most recently played in their third and fourth years with the Rifles, respectively. Naujoks and Ricard have both spent three seasons with the Rifles.

“The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have continued to try to invest in the growth of younger football players within Manitoba,” said General Manager Kyle Walters. “This will be a great experience for all of them to be on the field with professional players, and to continue to grow as athletes.”

Quarterbacks and CFL newcomers will report to Winnipeg and will be on the field for the opening of rookie camp on Wednesday, May 24th. Veterans report on May 26th and will begin practicing on May 28th.

The Blue Bombers will play two pre-season games:  June 10th at Mosaic Stadium in Regina against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and June 15th at Investors Group Field against the Edmonton Eskimos.

Mike O'Shea says Bruce Johnson is "OK." Coach is not sure if he will play tomorrow. Johnson got nicked-up in practice yesterday. #Bombers

Think it was a joke referencing Dressler wearing boxing gloves during practice.

Dressler wore Johnson's boxing gloves?

Where do you guys think Sheppard fits in all of this? He's missed most, if not all of training camp, is he destined for the PR or is he cut to give a new guy a spot?

I don't see the purpose in keeping Sheppard, personally.

Hoping to see Mr Williams get some touches...I'm liking this signing truth be told.

I see a more athletic Nik Lewis type guy here. Love how he attacks the defence once he has the ball in his mitts. Goes searching for yac the way I like to see a receiver do it
