WINNIPEG – Sidelined after the first game of the season, Ryan Lankford will sub for an injured slotback Weston Dressler Friday night as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Ottawa Redblacks.
Lankford, who had a solid spring camp but didn’t show enough in his first game to stick, is excited to get back on the field and doesn’t lack confidence in his ability to fill some big shoes.

WINNIPEG – Adam Bighill and Craig Roh were glad the Winnipeg Blue Bombers met a challenge head on and came away smiling.
After Winnipeg kicker Justin Medlock’s 33-yard field goal put the Bombers ahead of the Tiger-Cats 29-23 on Friday with 1:22 left in the fourth quarter, the defence held off a late Hamilton surge to preserve the victory.
With a lingering heat warning heading into this weekend and temperatures expected to soar above 30°C, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers want fans attending Friday night’s game to take some precautions.
The football club reminds fans to drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic, non-caffeinated beverages to stay hydrated.

WINNIPEG – Weston Dressler had people telling him he was probably too small to play football ever since he was about 10 years old.
It’s a good thing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver didn’t listen.
Former defensive tackle Bryant Turner Jr. signed a one-day contract Tuesday to retire as a Winnipeg Blue Bomber.
Turner spent five seasons with Winnipeg (2011-2015) and appeared in 71 games with the Blue and Gold. During his time with the Blue Bombers, Turner recorded 26 sacks, five forced fumbles and 75 total tackles. He played in three playoff games for the Bombers, including the 2011 Grey Cup.
