Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ Kenny Lawler Sidelined with Injury in Season Opener Against Montreal Alouettes

Winnipeg Blue Bombers wide receiver Kenny Lawler sustained an upper-body injury in the first half of their season opener against the Montreal Alouettes. The team confirmed that Lawler would not return to the game due to the injury.

Lawler had an active first half, being targeted a game-high five times and securing three receptions for 26 yards. Despite his efforts, the Blue Bombers found themselves trailing the Montreal Alouettes 14-5 after the first half.

The California native, Kenny Lawler, played a crucial role in the Blue Bombers’ offense last season, recording 50 receptions for 901 yards and six touchdowns. His contributions helped lead the team to the Grey Cup, where they were defeated by the Alouettes.

In Lawler’s CFL career spanning 53 games with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Edmonton Elks, he has accumulated 215 catches for 3,446 yards and 21 touchdowns. His absence in the remainder of the season opener against the Montreal Alouettes will be felt by the Blue Bombers.
