The CFL will be requiring full detailed injury reports this season:

O'Shea has a long history of not reporting or offering misleading injury reports. And he is off to a typical start this season with Andrew Harris missing practice for the next 2 weeks and O'Shea being very vague about the reasons.

I guess O'Shea has until the start of the season to continue with his misleading ways and then it is only a matter of time before the league gets involved with some discipline. We should start a pool, guess the exact date of the first Bombers injury report shenanigans.

hindsight 20/20, but the Lions have screwed this up really badly the first 2 weeks

Not the Lions. Uninformed bettors who haven't done their homework. Reilly was listed as questionable and his participation was a game-time decision both weeks. The head coach made that clear every day. Smart bettors usually lay off when star players are questionable. That applies to all pro sports.

Don't overlook the detail that Shaq Cooper was moved onto and from the injury reserve list for no apparent reason. The Blue Bombers injury reports and depth charts have easily been far more reliable than those of the Lions to this point in the season.

Cooper was listed as a healthy scratch in the official injury reports. That’s more transparent than the way CFL clubs have stashed players on injured lists without explanation in the past.

Looks like your prognosis has not panned out. The Bombers are the only team that's looked really good overall so far this year.

I was referring to O'Shea's past tendency to be less than forthright and mostly vague in reporting injuries. Now there is a different injury reporting criteria due to the new betting laws and player's injury impact on betting and game outcomes.
