Blue Bombers’ Receiver Demski Sidelined by Leg Injury

Winnipeg Blue Bombers star receiver Nic Demski is out for the upcoming game against the Edmonton Elks due to a leg injury. The team confirmed that he would not return after leaving the field in the first half.

Injury Details

Demski, who has had a prominent season, managed to catch one pass for five yards before his exit. The injury occurred during a deep pass attempt in the second quarter. Quarterback Zach Collaros underthrew the ball, which was intercepted by JJ Ross. Notably, Demski appeared to sustain the injury without direct contact, as he limped off the field.

Season Performance

  • Receptions: 67
  • Receiving Yards: 1,001
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 7

As a 10-year veteran in the Canadian Football League (CFL), this marks Demski’s seventh season with the Blue Bombers. He is currently the team’s leading receiver this season.

Impact on Team

The Blue Bombers are currently involved in a competitive race for the second seed in the West Division. Demski’s absence could significantly impact their offensive strategy and overall performance in the upcoming match.
