REGINA – Roughriders quarterback Zach Collaros has been scratched from the West Division semifinal against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

Canadian Brandon Bridge will get the start at QB and be backed up by David Watford and Drew Tate.

Collaros was hit in Saskatchewan’s regular season finale on Oct. 27 against B.C. after taking a hit late in the first quarter.

He passed concussion protocol and practised all week but wasn’t healthy enough to play.

Head coach Chris Jones wouldn’t announce his starter on the eve of the game and only said both quarterbacks were prepared to play.

The winner of Sunday’s match travels to Calgary next week to face the Stampeders in the West final.
