Quarterback Matt Nichols leaves Blue Bombers practice with injury
WINNIPEG — Blue Bombers starting quarterback Matt Nichols left practice with an injury on Wednesday, and the team said he would be evaluated by a doctor.
Nichols was stepping back to throw a pass late in practice when he fell to the turf without being touched by a teammate.
He lifted himself to one knee, tossed his helmet and rested for a few moments. With his arms around a trainer on either side of him, he then walked slowly off the field with a bit of a limp.
Winnipeg head coach Mike O’Shea said he didn’t see Nichols go down.
