Drew Willy will get the start behind centre for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Saturday night when they host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Investors Group Field.

The team announced the decision via Twitter Friday morning.

The 27-year-old suffered a shoulder injury on Sept. 13 during a 26-9 loss to the B.C. Lions. The Bombers (6-6) had a bye last week.

Willy has thrown for 2977 yards with 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions over 12 games this season.
