Bombers QB Matt Nichols ready to go for West semifinal against Eskimos
WINNIPEG — Matt Nichols says he’s done everything — and more — to get ready to play in Sunday’s CFL West Division semifinal.
Even though the Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback has only had two days of limited practise since suffering a suspected calf injury Oct. 28, the suspense is over and he’ starting against the Edmonton Eskimos.
“I’m good to go, for sure. Everyone knew that all week long on our side of it,” Nichols told reporters on Saturday.
“We approached it the best way we saw fit. I’ve played a lot of football the last couple years, played a lot of football this year. Missing a couple reps here and there are not the biggest thing in the world to me. I’ve still put in tons and tons of extra time.”
