No defensive transaction after franchise-worst run — bye-week patience is a bet on the inc

After back-to-back double-digit losses capped by allowing a franchise-record 377 rushing yards to B.C., Winnipeg emerged from the bye without making a trade, signing, or cut along the defensive line. The front office is effectively doubling down on Willie Jefferson and the current defensive group to fix the run internally before facing Edmonton, Montreal, and Saskatchewan in a four-game gauntlet.
