WINNIPEG -- Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willys injured shoulder could make him miss the Blue Bombers next game almost two weeks from now, and his future after that is unclear based on what the team said Monday. The Bombers say Willys status is week-to-week but that hes questionable for Winnipegs next game at home against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. "He will be re-evaluated at the beginning of next week," the team said in a brief statement Monday. The team didnt provide any more information about the nature of the injury. Willys throwing shoulder was injured on what looked like a hit from Alex Bazzie and Khreem Smith, as Willy was sacked late in the second quarter in their 25-9 loss to the B.C. Lions Saturday. After the game, coach Mike OShea suggested the injury might not be serious, although Willy watched from the sidelines in the second half as backup Brian Brohm struggled against B.C.s defence. At 27, Willy has been remarkably durable, or lucky, as far as injuries are concerned, with only a hand injury in practice that made him miss two games during his college career and none that have forced him to miss a game as a professional. This season he has hardly missed a snap let alone a game, despite hits that have left him bruised and limping off the field at times. It helps that this is Winnipegs bye week, which gives the team and Willy some time to recover or prepare. They dont have to play again until Sept. 27. The Bombers arent suffering alone. Willy joins Darian Durant, Travis Lulay and Bo Levi Mitchell on the injured list. Like Willy, Mitchell went down Saturday, although in his case it was a leg injury, and also like Willy he hadnt missed a game this season. B.C. has veteran Kevin Glenn, who has already played most of the season for Lulay, and Calgary has Drew Tate if Mitchell cant return. But the Bombers have the untested Brohm to back up Willy. The Saskatchewan Roughriders have also been forced to go with rookie backup Tino Sunseri, who made his first CFL start Sunday, a 28-3 loss in Hamilton that gave the Tiger-Cats just their third win of the season. With Durant out, Saskatchewans hold on second place in the CFL West looked tenuous as they fell to an 8-3 tie with the Edmonton Eskimos after weekend games. Mike Reilly, the last starter standing in the West, completed 22 of 32 throws Friday for 271 yards and ran for two touchdowns as the Eskimos put away the Montreal Alouettes 33-16. Although the Bombers are in last place in the CFL West at 6-6, Willy has been the player who kept them in the game for much of this season. He leads the league in passing yards at 2,977, at least for now. The Bombers went 5-1 to open the season, although most of their games were against eastern teams that have struggled against every team in the West. The Bombers then started to play more in their own division and have a 1-5 record since, with that one win against the Alouettes. Adidas Store Basketball Shoes .

Buy Adidas Basketball Shoes Online . - Playing a road game against a division rival raises the intensity for linebacker Clay Matthews.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - An extra week to heal has proved beneficial for San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis, who says he can play without thinking again. And thats a good thing. Coming off an injury, it always lingers and its in your mind when youre playing, Davis said Thursday. I feel healthy enough to go out, get going, not thinking, just reacting. Hampered by ankle and back problems most of the season, Davis hopes to add to his 14 catches for 142 yards in the 49ers rematch with the visiting St. Louis Rams on Sunday. An All-Pro player last year after catching 13 touchdown passes, Davis has been limited to a pair of touchdown receptions, both in the first quarter of the 49ers season-opening victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Youre always going to have trials and face adversity, Davis said. You can grow from it if you deal with it the right way. San Francisco offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman expects bigger things ahead for Davis, the franchise leader among tight ends with 55 touchdowns. I think hes back to form, and you know, hes been playing through some things, Roman said. Hes gutted his way through it and I think hes got a very focused glare when it comes to what he wants to accomplish from here on out. Regaining his proficiency as a deep threat is one of those things he wants to accomplish. For the most part I feel like I can do a lot of things well, Davis said. The bye week was a great opportunity to work on things and to try to get healthy.dddddddddddd His presence would give Colin Kaepernick, who threw for season highs of 343 yards and three touchdowns in the 49ers win over the Rams three weeks ago, another weapon in the passing game. Ill do whatever it takes to win, Davis said. Ill block for Frank Gore, Ill be the decoy down field, whatever it takes. As far as dealing with adversity, Davis only needs to look down a few lockers to see how running back Marcus Lattimore has been dealing with it for two years. Lattimore, who turned 23 on Wednesday, is two years removed from a devastating knee injury and made his practice debut this week, getting individual attention from former 49ers fullback Tom Rathman, among others. It was great to see him out there, Roman said. He worked with coach Rathman after practice and got with some of the defensive players and got some contact work, which was really good. The 49ers have 21 days to decide whether to put him on the active roster. NOTES: WR Stevie Johnson, a San Francisco native, said the Giants winning the World Series puts pressure on us to make it a San Francisco thing. Hopefully, the Warriors can take the NBA. Johnson said the San Jose Sharks Logan Couture once told him that the difference in the playoffs was how people reacted to each other. Thats what we want here and it could be a special year. ' ' '
