Jul 9, 2026 | 9:07 AM

WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Blue Bombers star quarterback Zach Collaros will miss Friday’s game against the visiting Toronto Argonauts with a neck injury.

Collaros sustained the injury in the second quarter of Winnipeg’s 14-13 win at Hamilton on Sunday.

He was listed as questionable earlier this week and did not participate in the Blue Bombers’ practice on Wednesday.

Dru Brown, who Winnipeg acquired in a trade with Ottawa last month, will start at quarterback Friday.
