Timothy Flanders hasn’t seen game action in nine months and to say he’s itching to get back into the Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ lineup would be an understatement.

The 26-year-old import running back missed most of training camp and the first six games of the CFL season with an injury. He was removed from the six-game injured list before the Bombers’ July 27 win over the Toronto Argonauts and has been practising but there’s no indication at this point that he’ll be on the roster when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats pay a visit to Investors Group Field on Friday night.

For Flanders to get into the lineup, someone would have to come out and right now the Bombers offence is performing too well to warrant such a change.

The team is also very healthy on offence, with all players present and accounted for at Tuesday’s practice.

“You kind of don’t want to mess that up but at the same time I know what I bring to the offence and I’m pretty sure they know what I do well for the offence,” Flanders said.
