    Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback Zach Collaros practiced Friday for the first time since his team landed in Regina for Sunday’s Gray Cup.

    Collaros rolled his right ankle in the CFL’s West Division final and did not step on the field for Winnipeg’s first two practices this week.

    The 34-year-old center, who won the league’s Most Outstanding Player award for the second time in as many years, said he will play in Sunday’s championship game against the Toronto Argonauts.

    Friday’s practice was a CFL-mandated media day for both teams’ quarterbacks, so Collaros did not comment on how his ankle felt after a cold, windy practice on a suburban small football field.

    “The guy is a fighter,” Blue Bombers running back Brady Oliveira said after practice. “He’s tough. He is tough as nails. There is no doubt in my mind that he would not play this game.
