Dru Brown
Not seen as backup yet
Brown is expected to remain as the Blue Bombers' QB4 for the foreseeable future, according to Derek Taylor of 680CJOB.
ANALYSIS
The Blue Bombers were expected to deploy Brown as the QB2 behind Zach Collaros after acquiring him via trade June 23, but he's been the QB4 since then. As things stand now, Taylor Elgersma and Bryce Perkins are ahead of him on the depth chart. If that situation doesn't change, Brown won't see action for Winnipeg any time soon.

In mix to earn QB1 role
Brown (knee) is still in the mix to open the 2026 season as Ottawa's QB1, head coach Ryan Dinwiddie told TSN 1200 when asked if the starting quarterback gig was Brown's to lose. "I wouldn't say that it's anybody's to lose," he told TSN 1200. "I think someone's gotta take the job and that's kind of what my focus is on right now."
