Quarterbacks Matt Nichols and Chris Streveler split first team reps at Winnipeg Blue Bombers practice Wednesday, three days before their Week 4 matchup against the BC Lions.

Nichols was removed from the Blue Bombers' six-game injured list Tuesday, four weeks after suffering a knee injury in pre-season practice.

Streveler, a CFL rookie, has been filling in for Nichols while he recovers, and has led the Bombers to a 1-2 record, throwing for 570 yards and six touchdowns to two interceptions.

Nichols, when healthy, has been the team's starter the past two and a half seasons.
