Drew willy hurts his passing hand at the end of practice. Writhing in pain.

Not good.

Super.

So wait... who's our ACTUAL backup?

Didn't their fathers tell them not to hurt your Willy

So wait... who's our ACTUAL backup?

I think it's Max Hall.

 

Good gawd.

Backup is either Brohm or Marve. Going to guess Brohm gets the nod if Willy can't go.  Willy will play unless it's simply impossible. That's how he's been all year.

Wow that sucks

This sucks!  Hope he is okay and ready to go for Labour Day.

he's banged up that hand a few times already this season. First time was early in the season when he banged it on a helmet or something. They gave him a lotta pain meds and he came back in the 2nd half and found a way to win...said on TSN afterward that he was on a lot of meds. Then a few games later he got it bent back pretty bad, but found a way to fight through. He's been a Ritchie style "Wah-Yah" this season, for sure, but I wonder if too many shots to it finally did him in...

#Bombers QB Drew Willy had hand looked at by trainer. Now in huddle at end of practice #bn

 

 

Wish there was more detail to this tweet...hopefully he's alright

He'll play. I'd be shocked if he didn't.

Drew Willy doesn't normally show a lot of emotion. That was not the case today. Waiting on injury update

@ShawnChurchill Did he hit it on a helmet on a follow through when throwing?

@ccharney86 that is correct

Just find it weird that Willy was hurt in practice when he was no media availability scheduled.

Penton says Unamba got in tight on him as he was throwing, and got a hand on the ball. Sounds like maybe bent the hand back pretty good...

Mike O'Shea says it's not serious. There you go.

Drew Willy will practice on Friday, no major issue with hand. "Drew's fine" - Bombers HC Mike O'Shea. #bn

Mike O'Shea says Drew willys right hand injury at the end of practice is not serious and he expects to be ready to practice tomorrow.

Phew

I'm hopeful next season we bring in a veteran qb who can actually play if Willy got hurt & isn't a big ? like Brohm. You need a quality backup in this league as it is an 18 game season.

Who do you have in mind?

Brohm is about as much of a non question mark as you're going to find for a backup QB in the CFL, other than Drew Tate or Kevin Glenn.

 

He's at least got age and experience that the other backups don't have.

Sounds like Willy is fine.

Don't you think O'Shea would be actively looking for a back up if he was not happy with what he has? If the coaches are good I hope they stick with them. The problem we had in the past is we didn't have a starter and would throw  a back up who was not ready and who would get really burnt. Should we get past this year with Willy our guys will be that much more prepared to step up.
