Even though the Winnipeg Blue Bombers quarterback has only had two days of limited practice since suffering a suspected calf injury Oct. 28, the suspense is over and he’s starting against the Edmonton Eskimos. WINNIPEG—Matt Nichols says he’s done everything — and more — to get ready to play in Sunday’s CFL West Division semifinal. The Bombers beat the Eskimos in both regular-season meetings, with Edmonton never holding a lead in either game. “He’s fiery, he’s a competitor, he’s fearless and he’ll do whatever it takes to get ready and play, and play well,” Bombers running back Andrew Harris said of Nichols. “I feel like, more so this year, that this is a place that’s tough to play in,” the Winnipeg native said.
