Demski's Absence Exposes Winnipeg's Canadian Depth at the Worst Time

Nic Demski's move to the one-game injured list for the Labour Day Classic stripped the Bombers of their third-leading receiver (50 catches, 660 yards, 3 TDs) and their most reliable Canadian target. With Demski out, Winnipeg's ratio flexibility tightens, forcing them to rely on less-proven national talent in a hostile road environment where they managed only 26 points.
