Blue Bombers Lose Collaros and the Game in Tough Night Against Argos
So, here’s what went down in Week 8 of the CFL—it was a rough night for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and things took a serious turn when quarterback Zach Collaros was ruled out for the second half in their 31-17 loss to the Toronto Argonauts.
Now, if you’re a Bombers fan, this one stings. Collaros, who’s been a cornerstone for Winnipeg, didn’t come back out after halftime. When the team returned to the field to start the third quarter, fans noticed right away—he was missing from the huddle. Chris Streveler stepped in to take over the offense, and while the game continued, the absence of Collaros loomed large.

What makes this even more concerning is the silence from the team regarding what exactly happened. No official update has been given yet, but Collaros was later spotted on the sidelines midway through the third quarter. He wasn’t suited up—just watching from the sidelines, which only added to the uncertainty about his condition.
Before he exited the game, Collaros had a rough first half. He completed just five passes for 79 yards and threw two interceptions. It wasn’t his sharpest performance, and it definitely didn’t help the team’s momentum going into the break. By the end of the night, the Bombers had to settle for a frustrating loss to the Argos, falling short by 14 points.
For context, Collaros has been a two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player and has been instrumental in leading the Blue Bombers to success over the past few seasons. So far this year, he’s thrown for just over 1,000 yards with seven touchdowns but also eight interceptions. That kind of stat line shows he’s been battling some inconsistency, and with the team now at 3-2, sitting third in the West Division, there’s definitely pressure mounting.
Fans and analysts alike are now waiting on updates, hoping this isn’t a long-term issue. Losing Collaros for more than just one game could be a major blow to Winnipeg’s hopes this season. As always in the CFL, things can shift quickly—but for the Bombers, this was one of those games where everything that could go wrong, did.
