WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers starting quarterback will return in Week 11.

Zach Collaros was listed as the team’s starter on their depth chart released on Thursday, returning to the lineup after missing the last four games.

In four starts this season, the Bombers are 2-2 with Collaros at the controls, though he didn’t finish his fourth start of the season in Hamilton after suffering a neck injury. Over those games, he has connected on 71.8 per cent of his passes for 985 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions.
