Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros exited Saturday’s 21-13 Banjo Bowl loss against the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the third quarter with an apparent upper-body injury.

Collaros, 37, was on the receiving end of a hard hit from Roughriders defensive back C.J. Reavis and did not return to the field after.

The free-blitzing Reavis came off of the edge and hit Collaros up high on the play, who laid motionless on the field after the strip sack. The play was later ruled to be roughing the passer by the CFL Replay Room following a Blue Bombers challenge, wiping out the turnover.

Collaros left the field under his own power and head coach Mike O'Shea did not have a specific update after the game.

“He doesn't stay down, usually. It's not comforting, by any means. I hate to see that,” O'Shea said of Collaros, saying he had no update on his status.

“I'm sure he'll be okay. When, I don't know,” O’Shea said.

The two-time CFL Most Outstanding Player had completed nine-of-15 passing attempts for 165 yards, two interceptions and a touchdown.

Chris Streveler took over under centre for Winnipeg after Collaros departed.

Collaros, a native of Steubenville, Ohio, has thrown for 2,132 passing yards with 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions across 10 games played this season.
