Oliveira to miss second straight game when Blue Bombers host Elks
Zach Collaros and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers have proven to be too much for the Edmonton Elks over the years.
Winnipeg (3-0) hosts Edmonton (1-2) on Thursday, having won the last 12 head-to-head matchups between the West Division rivals. Collaros is 15-6 in his career against the Elks, including 11 straight wins — the last 10 with the Bombers.
Edmonton’s last regular-season win over Winnipeg came on Nov. 3, 2018.
Winnipeg will be minus standout running back Brady Oliveira (shoulder) again this week. Oliveira, 27, ran twice for 49 yards in the Bombers’ season-opening 34-20 win over the B.C. Lions on June 12 before leaving the contest.
