WINNIPEG – Blue Bombers quarterback Drew Willy will miss Saturday’s game against the Calgary Stampeders due to a hand injury.

Backup pivot Brian Brohm will make his first career CFL start for the slumping team.

Winnipeg has lost six games in a row to fall to 6-9 on the season.

The 12-2 Stampeders can clinch first place in the West Division with a victory.

Willy injured his throwing hand in Winnipeg’s 41-9 loss to Edmonton last week.
