WINNIPEG -- Zach Collaros will not play in this weekend's Eastern Semi-Final.

According to the team's official depth chart released on Friday, Collaros has been listed as out. Instead, Dru Brown will be the team's starting quarterback on Saturday in Toronto.

Collaros did not participate in the first two days of practice this week and was listed as a limited participant on Thursday. Collaros suffered a rib injury in his team's regular season finale against the BC Lions. Dru Brown came into that game in relief, completing 11-of-11 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns, leading the Bombers to a win and securing a playoff berth.

In 12 regular season games, Collaros has thrown for 2,989 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

The Eastern Semi-Final between the Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts is set for Saturday at 1:00 p.m. ET and can be watched on TSN, RDS, CTV, Crave and CFL+.
