Frequently, especially when I'm busy, I like to separate fact from opinion. What makes this site so enjoyable is the opinions and disagreements that we find from our members. However sometimes I just am not interested in opinion. I want to know what's changing for our next game. New injuries, recovering from past injuries, possible replacements and other moves the coaches might make is all that really matters to me sometimes.

I do not know what we all like best but the most important thing for me is the injury report and personnel changes. I am mainly interested in the Bombers but I don't mind hearing about what's happening around the league. So here goes: as a start.

"Attention now turns to Demski's injury, this O can't afford to lose anyone let alone him for considerable time"

"I don’t think it’ll be too serious. He was walking on it no boot or any thing. Worst case I would think a high ankle sprain that takes a couple weeks. "

So if Demski is out for the next game how do we change our lineup?

One of my chief interests is how Brandon Alexander is coming along. Has anybody seen him out on the practice field in the last week or so?

Did anyone notice if any of our other starters besides Demski got a little nicked up on Friday night?

Now I realize some of this is conjecture but we do have some excellent sleuths on this site, people who can see what MOS and the gang don't want to say. I would just like to know sooner than when we publish the game day roster.

I wonder if this means we will see an air lift to replace those pr bodies this week. 

Or if it means a bunch of guys are gonna come off the ir shortly

Too bad we didn't get to see Boom Massie hit the field. I was buying into the potential

I would think we should see some guys coming off IR shortly.

When does our expanded PR end?

End of the regular season. I would think that these 5 guys were definitely not going to see the field this year so we sent them home. Wouldn't suprise me to see some of them back in camp next year.

I wonder if some of these fringe NFL guys ask for a release

Some might. It's tough living on PR money. At this time of year our focus is not on coaching up our PR guys either as we fine tune for the playoffs. I believe we have seen guys released late season from the PR show up in TC the next year on a few occasions before.

I think we see him and Texada back for training camp....we have done that before...brought some guys in to evaluate when we had the room to do so and see if we want to let them compete the next yr...

With a couple of new leagues to tryout for, that strategy will probably become less successful, why wait around for 6 months, if other opportunities present themselves.

Who should we have back once playoffs start from injury? Only saying this as I saw Nic Taylor at Walmart still in the walking boot,I'm sure there's a bit of help coming.

Drew Desjarlais says hello. 

Out of all the guys that have been out long term, the one i desperately want back is Kyrie Wilson. But the fact that he hasnt even begun to practice yet gives me very little hope.

Kyrie is the guy I'd most like to see return. Expect we see Ellingston and maybe Houston.

Jeffcoat, kyrie nichols then hansen then houston. If we get one or two of those guys back and maybe ellingson or woli that’s huge.

You dont know what hes been doing outside of general practice...just cause you dont see...don't mean the work isnt being done...I still think we se him

I also think we see Woli and Ellingson this week at practice ..same with Jeffcoat...if last week was a playoff game...or a must win regular season game both would have played

Have a feeling that the league will see the embarrassment of riches we have for the West Final, some in the league have failed to see the amount of injured players we had during the regular season.

Been thinking that myself. We haven't been fully healthy in a long time (ever this season??) and when we are, I think people are going to realize just how good this Bombers team is....

I would expect to see Ellingson back.

Hopefully Nichols is all good after he returns from his fathers death, condolences.

Wilson I also think is of the upmost importance in retuning with team’s needs heading to the WF.

Also the state of Kolokowski?

Houston I have doubts in returning

Just checked the website and the Bombers are back at practice tomorrow at 11:30am. Should be some news then.

I'm not sure that smiting other players and calling down lightning falls within the rules.

What purpose would it serve to bring Ellingson back for a meaningless game & then 2 weeks off for the Western final? Give him another 3 weeks to heal up further so he can concentrate on the playoff & Grey Cup game. He's a veteran so getting the rust off won't be an issue.

Nah, if he's 100% you absolutely bring him back to knock some rust off and regain his timing on routes. Better to do that this week than in the WF....
