Blue Bombers' Brady Oliveira: Logs nine carries in loss

Rotowire• ·

Oliveira (ankle) rushed nine times for 44 yards during the Blue Bombers' 37-10 loss to the Alouettes in Week 18.

Analysis:

Oliveira was able to play through his ankle injury yet again, but in a contest where game script turned away from the run, the veteran running back tied for his second-lowest carry total of the season. Oliveira was coming off four 100-yard tallies in the prior five games, and despite the downturn, the versatile veteran has a solid chance to bounce back in a favorable Week 19 home matchup against the Stampeders on Saturday, especially if Zach Collaros (head) is back under center.
