The Blue Bombers return to the practice field this morning from 10:15am-12:45pm as they prepare for their second preseason game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Thursday, June 20^th.

 

Im surprised about Marcus Hyde... I thought he was doing good? plus we wanted him for quite a while... BC also wanted him. thats too bad.

FYI - non counters become counters at the end of camp and count on the PR. Sorry

Not totally true. If all 7 spots are full, you can use an extra spot on a player who was in that year's draft, such as Pavlopolous.

PR also got bumped up to nine instead of seven, but the extra two spots need to be Canadians.

Teams can keep a draft pick on their PR that doesn't count against the PR limit of 7.  Sorry.

makes sense - better than just hiding them on the IR like most teams have done in the past.
