WINNIPEG — The bad news keep piling on for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
After a few early season injuries to key players like receivers Kenny Lawler and Dalton Schoen, the Blue Bombers are now having to deal with an injury to their starting quarterback Zach Collaros.
Good. It’s not his head.
Bad - Thorax covers a lot of ground, and most injuries in that area don’t heal on a short week.
I still think it’s bruised sternum or something like that, but agreed, glad it’s not his head. He’s had more than enough concussions.
I think we have seen thorax injuries on the Bombers before. Better than an injury to the antenna or mandible.
But without your antenna how are you going to feel the pass rush coming and scurry out of harm’s way?

Oh c’mon. ‘Spidey sense’ is the correct answer. Weren’t you bitten by a radioactive creepy crawly like the rest of us?
Thorax, lol…
The CFL sure can be awkward when it comes to mid-body injury descriptions. I think it’s great that the term ‘Thorax’ can be both both creepy and funny at the same time. Whenever one our players goes out with an injury to his thorax I always imagine him wrapped up in a cocoon of his own making. He’s hanging from a training room rafter week after week like a silk mummy… his bodily fluids slowly dissolving and reforming into a totally different critter.
Every week we’ll get an injury report and every week I’ll picture him wriggling around like a bag of rats as he tries in vain to get out of that cocoon and back out on the field. It’s a good thing I’m normal.
Now where’s that fly swatter I put down just a minute ago? 
The Winnipeg Blue Butterflies?
Sure. As long as none of them turns into a Winnipeg Blue Fly (seen here renegotiating a contract with GM Kyle Walters who looks a lot like Vincent Price):
Coach Mike O’Shea has gone into Blue Bomber Boogaloo mode. He barely acknowledges Zach is even with the team - such is the zipped up lid of information on a key injury to the Bombers highest paid player.
Still could be concussion recurrence which could lead to Collaros sudden retirement from hard-hitting football.
NO wonder Bombers have to be so tight-lipped. You simply can’t admit your star QB has what he has. Other teams will target him every snap. Hmmm. Aren’t they doing that already? Did 400 lb. Monster Coatney target Zach’s thoracic cavity last weekend?
Although I have been a Zach collaros fan since he played in Hamilton, I feel Father Time may have caught up to him. It happens to everyone eventually and never fully reveals itself until it happens. Some players get a hint before the end comes while others find out too late.
Collaros could have broken both legs in practice and O’Shea would still list him as a game-time decision. 
Eventually? There’s been signs off & on for 2 years.
He still got us to 4 straight GC’s, and deserved his topdog status during that run. But right now? I don’t know how he makes the Top 50 players nextyear.
Zach Collaros is only 35 years old and could run circles around 99.8% of people before they could blink an eye.
Agreed - but guys start breaking down in 'n around the age of 35. Here’s a list of those who were either broken down or stayed too long:
Here’s some guys who didn’t break down or called it a day before the day called them:
Thing with Zach is he’s an awfully proud guy, and plays his best when he’s got a chip on his shoulder, or feels disrespected. I’m hoping he can find that fire and save this season.
