Dru Brown completed 80% of his passes for 339 yards last week and now faces the team that drafted him after Zach Collaros was ruled out.
- On Sunday, Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Dru Brown starts against his former club, the Ottawa Redblacks, after head coach Mike O'Shea ruled starter Zach Collaros out Friday with a neck injury.
