This is cut and paste from the Winnipeg Free Press:
VEGAS LINE: Bombers by 1.5 points.
TICATS VS. BOMBERS:
Since 1961: Winnipeg is 52-40 all-time vs. Hamilton; Winnipeg is 8-2 in its last 10 against the Ticats and 4-1 in its last five at Ivor Wynne Stadium.
BLUE ROSTER UPDATE:
The biggest move this week sees veteran DT Tyrone Williams taking a knee in favour of Dorian Smith. Said head coach Mike Kelly of Smith: "He gives us a better opportunity right now to put pressure on the passer." Also on the 46-man roster but not dressing are LB Joe Lobendahn, DB Brandon Stewart and new WR Craphonso Thorpe while SB Arjei Franklin (ankle) was placed on the injured list. Added are DT Doug Brown, DE Riall Johnson and WR Aaron Hargreaves.
GET THIS:
The Ticats are attempting to win two consecutive games for the first time since September of 2006. Hamilton hasn't had a winning record since finishing 9-8-1 in 2004.
RETRO NIGHT:
Both teams will wear their 1960s retro uniforms tonight. Hamilton was 86-50-4 in the '60s, winning six East Division titles and capturing three Grey Cups. The Bombers were 75-82-3 in the '60s with three West Division titles and two Grey Cups.
My guess is that if there was even a question of him not playing it would be mentioned here along with D. Brown and A. Franklin. The fact that they dont mention it tells me is playing.
