The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have released American offensive linemen Jeremiah Crawford and Tunde Fatukasi, the team announced on Tuesday.

Both players joined the club’s practice roster in September. Neither saw any regular-season action prior to being released.

Crawford attended training camp with the Carolina Panthers in 2024 but was released among final roster cuts. The six-foot-five, 315-pound native of Goddard, Kan. played collegiately at the University of Tennessee, where he played 30 games and made 13 starts at tackle. He also had a previous stint at Butler Community College.

Fatukasi finished his collegiate career with a four-year stint at Bowling Green State University, where he made 33 starts over 44 career games. The six-foot-five, 310-pound native of Far Rockaway, N.Y. played primarily at left tackle and guard.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-9) will visit the Toronto Argonauts (9-9) for the East Semi-Final at BMO Field on Saturday, October 31 with kickoff scheduled for 1:00 p.m. ET. The teams met twice during the regular-season and split the meetings 1-1.

The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 680 CJOB in Winnipeg and TSN 1050 in Toronto.
