Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros says his ankle, which has been under much scrutiny during Grey Cup week, didn't regress after his lone practice in Regina.

Collaros rolled his right ankle when he was tackled in the fourth quarter of the CFL's West Division final last Sunday.  

He sat out Winnipeg's first two practices after landing in Regina before taking to the field Friday. 

Dalton Schoen had never set foot in Canada and knew little about the CFL before arriving in Winnipeg for training camp.

"Didn't know where Winnipeg was until I Googled it," Schoen told The Canadian Press. "I tell people I didn't even know there's 12 people on the field until I got my playbook, which was like two weeks before camp. Then you learned the field's wider."

The 26-year-old out of Kansas State was a quick study with the Blue Bombers. 

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros practised Friday for the first time since his team landed in Regina for Sunday's Grey Cup.

Collaros rolled his right ankle in the CFL's West Division final and didn't step on the turf for Winnipeg's first two practices this week.

The 34-year-old pivot, who won the league's Most Outstanding Player award for the second time in as many years, has said he will play in Sunday's championship game against the Toronto Argonauts.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros intends to play in Sunday's Grey Cup game against the Toronto Argonauts despite an injured ankle.

Collaros didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday in Regina, but told media "I'm ready to go. I'm ready to play."

The quarterback rolled his right ankle when he was tackled in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's West Division final win over the B.C. Lions.

"My foot just got stuck in the ground," Collaros said. "It didn't feel great on the ankle in the moment."

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers were minus quarterback Zach Collaros in their first practice of Grey Cup week.

Backup Dru Brown took first-team reps Wednesday amid blowing snow at a minor-league field in suburban Regina.

Collaros sustained an apparent right ankle injury when he was tackled in the fourth quarter of Sunday's West final win over the B.C. Lions.

Collaros walked back onto IG Field with a heavily taped ankle for Winnipeg's final series, but began limping and quickly returned to the sidelines.

Brad Gushue put a flourish on his team's dominant curling to become the first men's Pan Continental champion on Sunday.

To inject levity in a lopsided 11-3 win over South Korea in the final, Canada's skip weaved his final stone of the eighth end under his front leg and delivered it outside of his knee for a trick shot.

"I've done it a lot in clinics and stuff like that and shown kids," Gushue said. "Usually I can hit the rings, but I'm a little disappointed it went through there. Epic fail."

Bo Levi Mitchell handed the game ball to fellow quarterback Tommy Stevens after the Calgary Stampeders capped their 2022 regular season with a 36-10 win over the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday.

It was a poignant move because Mitchell, Calgary's all-time leading passer and twice the CFL's Most Outstanding Player, had walked off McMahon Stadium's turf for likely the last time as a Stampeder.
