The Winnipeg Blue Bombers can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to the status of starting quarterback Drew Willy.

TSN Radio 1290's Gary Lawless reports Willy's knee injury is not significant and the pivot is questionable for Thursday night's game against the B.C. Lions.

Willy was injured in the third quarter of Winnipeg's 32-3 loss to the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday night. The injury occurred when Edmonton's Eddie Steele hit the quarterback down low on a combined tackle with Marcus Howard. Willy was helped off the field with an apparent injury to his right knee and was replaced by backup QB Brian Brohm.

Willy went 7-for-17 for 81 yards in the game before exiting. Brohm completed 9 of his 19 attempts for 71 yards with two interceptions as the Bombers were outscored 28-0 in the second half.

Willy has thrown for 994 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions across five games with the Bomber this season. He has been unable to finish two games due to injury.

If Willy cannot play Thursday, the Bombers will be forced to turn back to Brohm or give third-stringer Robert Marve his first opportunity of the season. Brohm has thrown for 217 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions while appearing in three games this season.
