The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are only four days into training camp, but they are losing players like flies.
The Bombers have lost two defensive starters to potential long-term ailments after putting linebacker Adam Bighill, cornerback Jamal Parker, and defensive back Noah Hallett on the six-game injured list on Wednesday due to undisclosed injuries.
While players can be taken off the six-game injury list early, all three will miss at least the season opener.
Bighill left practice early on Tuesday. The 35-year-old has started at middle linebacker for the past five straight seasons and has only missed four games with injuries the entire time.
Parker is entering his third year in the blue and gold and took over the starter’s job from Winston Rose late in the 2024 season.
Hallett hasn’t played since the 2022 season after a knee injury kept him out all last year.
Shayne Gauthier was practicing in Bighill’s usual spot with the first-team defence on Wednesday, while Tyrique McGhee was lining up for Parker on the corner.
