Quarterback Zach Collaros said Wednesday that he’s ready to play on Sunday when the Saskatchewan Roughriders play host to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL’s West Division semifinal.

“I feel good,” Collaros said after Wednesday’s practice at Mosaic Stadium. “It felt good to be on the field with the guys and practising and getting ready for a big game this weekend against a great opponent.”

The status of Collaros has been the subject of a great deal of speculation since the quarterback was injured during the Riders’ 35-16 win over the visiting B.C. Lions on Oct. 27. He missed the final three quarters of the Roughriders’ regular-season finale after absorbing a hit to the head from defensive end Odell Willis.

Chris Jones, the Riders’ head coach and general manager, said that Collaros was kept out of the game for precautionary reasons.

On Wednesday, Jones wouldn’t go as far as to announce that Collaros will start against the Blue Bombers.
