Ticats, Blue Bombers to open CFL’s return minus some notable performers due to injury
The CFL’s return to play will be missing a few familiar faces.
The Hamilton Tiger-Cats will visit the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night to kick off the ’21 season. It will mark the league’s return after teams didn’t play in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teams will play a 14-game schedule instead of the traditional 18. And given the layoff and teams not having played any exhibition contests this year, injuries will certainly be a factor throughout the campaign.
It hasn’t taken long for that issue to rear its ugly head as both Hamilton and Winnipeg will be without some proven performers at IG Field.
