That sucks.  Not sure when / how he got hurt. 

Let the speculation ensue.

 Huge loss ,but I think we should be ok at that position. Corney, Jeffcoat....and the dude who's name i cant spell. Their turn to shine.

click bait thread title....should probably just edit to say "Westerman Done For The Year: Upperbody Injury"...

 

that said, man this sucks....Trent Corney, the floor is yours....

that's rough. We were having a pretty good year injury wise too.

Hurts the ratio tho 

I thought the injury was only for a week or two?

Irving says he's done for the year. Brutal. Our DL relies heavily on rotating often....Corney's going to get way more snaps than he's used to...

Open up the vault for Mulumba at least for this year

Well on the bright side it frees up a nice chunk of SMS cash for hopefully bringing in someone..even just for the year on a pro-rated contract to help in stretch run..especially on defence...Hello Mulumba...or Grymes...better a Mulumba tho as it keeps the ratio as it was

That sucks - great leader on the field...

Corney/Jeffcoat, Thomas/Johnson 

Maybe look at Wolitarsky instead of Lankford ?

 

Oh boy....when it rains it pours....we've been bit...Tough to lose a player of his calibre..Time for Corney to show us exactly what he's got...I know he's as tough as nails BUT he's not as experienced as Westerman and that 'could' hurt...Next man up as they say and hope for the best...Take it away Trent

AND get Mulumba in here quick so he can get up to speed..

for a defensive end...not much speed to get up to to have a guy step right in. Other than a few different schemes we run, it probably one of the easiest spots to step into in football with minimal time with a team

Some interesting quotes and stuff....really sucks for sure.

Might have to go shopping for a temp. fix, Corney can't back up both ends.  Foley would have been a decent option and might still be available at the right price, or trade Nevis for Eddie Steele and shift the ratio to DT.

Yeah no. 

Why is everyone all of a sudden trading Drake Nevis?

Ouch.  that sucks.   Time to really get Mulumba on the dotted line and see if Corney can step up in the mean time..

Someone brings it up and then everyone likes to ride the wave....

@DarrinBauming
Jamaal Westerman was literally jumping around and waving his arms in the air at #Bombers practice today. Makes you wonder...

on the short term (this week) sit Flanders, debut Wolitarsky

Activate Shayon Green

We got Poop.

Might be a blessing in disguise with Westerman a FA at the end of year. Can really see what Corney has going to get a lot more snaps.

wonder what? that he has a ligament damaged, muscle torn or something that doesn't inhibit mobility but ruins strength and ability to lift/bear weight?

 

****** comment from a normally solid news guy imo

no sit Lankford and dress Drew W...he can do returns, and probably fill the role of what Thorpe was doing somewhat. ...moreso than Lankford could
