Broxton Injury Pushes Vanterpool Into RT Duties; Bye Week Looms for Bombers Front Office Shuffle
The most immediate transaction ripple from Winnipeg’s 4-4 stumble into the bye week is the forced insertion of Micah Vanterpool at right tackle for the injured Jarell Broxton.

Multiple sources tell me that after back-to-back home shellackings, defensive captain Willie Jefferson’s post-game “S-t wasn’t good enough” was less about player effort and more a coded jab at defensive coordinator Jordan Younger’s vanilla, read-and-react philosophy. Adam Bighill, the veteran linebacker who’s seen his best days fade, privately vented earlier this season that the scheme “doesn’t let us be us.” When you pair that with Jake Ceresna’s “horrendous defence” remark, the message is clear: the players don’t trust the system. Young bucks like Zander Horvath gashing them for two long house calls in the
