Winnipeg's Defensive Line Is Down Five Bodies, Not One

Of the seven non-participants in Tuesday's practice, five were defensive linemen — Jake Ceresna (knee), Michael Fletcher (illness), Nuer Gatkuoth (foot), Matt Jaworski (elbow), and Tanner Schmekel (illness). That's not rotational maintenance; that's a positional wipeout in a single week. With Brady Oliveira (ankle) limited and Nic Demski (ankle) out, the 7-7 Bombers are walking into Montreal (11-3) with both their defensive front and their backfield compromised.
