The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have listed Canadian receiver Nic Demski as a game-time decision for when they visit the Edmonton Elks on Saturday night.

The 31-year-old native of Winnipeg, Man. recently posted to his Instagram page that he and his family are expecting a child, though the team has not officially confirmed this was the reason for his absence at practice this week.

The former first-round pick out of the University of Manitoba is on pace for the best season of his career having already made 66 catches for 996 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the team in all three categories. He is four receiving yards shy of his third-straight 1,000-yard season.

The Blue Bombers have also made a change in the secondary as Dexter Lawson Jr. has flipped to boundary cornerback with Demerio Houston out this week. Houston’s return to the team coming off the bye week was reportedly delayed due to a family emergency, which is why he’s a healthy scratch for this game.

Jamal Parker, who missed the team’s most recent game due to a leg injury, is returning to the lineup to start at Lawson’s usual spot at field-side cornerback. The 27-year-old native of Pennsauken, N.J. has made 24 defensive tackles and one interception over eight regular-season games in 2025.

Winnipeg can clinch a playoff spot with a win in Edmonton this week, which would mark their ninth straight trip to the CFL postseason.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (8-7) will visit the Edmonton Elks (6-9) at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday, October 11 with kickoff slated for 7:00 p.m. EDT. Both teams are coming off bye weeks with the Blue Bombers still in the thick of the playoff hunt and the Elks looking to keep their faint postseason hopes alive.

The weather forecast in Edmonton calls for a high of 6 degrees with a 30 percent chance of showers. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 880 CHED in Edmonton and 680 CJOB in Winnipeg.
