Zach Collaros, the 38-year-old quarterback of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, left the team's crucial game against the B.C. Lions in Vancouver on October 24, 2026, after sustaining an apparent injury. Late in the third quarter, he was tackled by Lions' defensive lineman Nathan Cherry and lay on the field for several minutes while being attended to by trainers before walking to the medical tent. The Blue Bombers confirmed that Collaros would not return for the remainder of the game but did not provide further details about his injury.
