Yes, the same knee

My opinion is the coaching. Last year's O-line was dreadful, giving up entirely too many sacks. Last season, Bellefeuille was the OC, Wylie the offensive line coach, Charbonneau the assistant offensive line coach.
So, this year, new linemen (Bryant, Chungh, Picard), but the same dismal results. . . and the very same three coaches noted above.
So that screams to me that coaching is the problem here.
And I'm not alone. . . I know Bomber fans generally dislike him, but Paul Friesen concurs:

I doubt there is a Bomber fan out there that doesn't know our coaching has been lacking for years across the board. But Montreal fans should understand that just canning coaches isn't the answer either. We've lacked any type of consistency in the coaching ranks, sometimes that is more important than a new coach. Who is out there anyway to consider? Another American OC with no CFL experience?
The players are also to blame. Byrant has not lived up to the billing, he's looked average at best. Picard's best days are behind him and he still takes bad penalties. Chungh is young and is going to make mistakes, but could be an anchor on the line down the road. Daniels & Greaves have both had some good moments and some bad.
In the end, if the line doesn't start to improve, gel, and get some major running game going....both players & coaches will be gone after the season.
Speaking from personal experience as well though not a medical professional myself, Discipline’s words are usually correct on that point for many a lower body injury for which a player is not 100% recovered no matter how trivial. Even something that seems minor like a damaged toe or some plantar fasciitis can have a major impact on play and indirect risk of re-injury or new injuries.
And let’s grant that every individual situation is different, so I don’t know the specifics on Willy’s initial injury but we do know that if he was not 100% recovered, he would have had to compensate for the deficiency like any of us with a weak link in the lower body.
There are examples each year at especially the QB position, for if the throwing stance and motion have to be adjusted even slightly for an injury, there are two additional risks for the QB.
The more apparent risk is a sudden decline in performance because the passes are just a bit off due to the QB not being able to compensate for the difference in stance, balance, throwing motion, and other kinetic variables.
Think for example, though its a bit simplistic, of the throwing motion of a QB akin to that of a spinning top. If any part of the top were damaged, the motion would be different and so would the balance of the top.
The second risk is along the lines stated by Discipline - re-injury and/or new injuries. Joints especially in the lower body are not isolated in function on the field of play. When one has a weak or damaged joint, and other parts of the body end up compensating whether or not one realizes it or “feels great.” Sometimes these new stresses on other joints result in slightly new motions and stresses that either re-injure the same joint or injure another part of the lower body.
In short, toughing it out is common but not always the answer and sometimes shortsighted so as to lead to more severe injury when one or two more weeks of rest might make a bigger difference.
These are often hard calls to make of course, but let’s not be surprised when any given player re-injures the same joint or another part of the body near that joint.
I think only a trained medical professional who examines Willy could make such a definitive determination. Note the possibility described below for any QB returning to play who is not 100% recovered from such a lower body injury.
But you might know more even so if you are a doctor with also some expertise or a specialty in sports medicine. Then again you are Evil too. 
You state no at first Wolverine and give your reason for the no, but then your statement that I put in bold indicates by your own words also a yes with regards to potential higher risk as stated by Discipline. That’s an example of what I described below.
If your assessment is correct, this situation would be a re-injury and a new injury in the lower body.
Without Willy, the WBB chances of the playoffs are now slight. In a different thread, someone suggested an Eastern club crossing over to the west. I said that it is unlikely as OTTRB, would need a better record than BC and WPG.
It now seems more probable. Ott or Tor will just need to worry about BCL.
However good the WPG back ups are, it will depend on the OL.
This injury was more of a fluke . Not sure if I would blame the OL on this one.
Right on about the crossover potential from the East. I’d rather see those teams in the playoffs given how they are playing now rather than BC, and all the teams in the weaker West this season have far to go to make it anyway.
As usual, I think almost all fans hope for no more QB injuries for the remaining starters.
