Jarell Broxton
Bio
Jarell Broxton is the Bombers' starting right tackle when healthy, but that qualifier has defined his career: seven games missed over the past two seasons and another trip to the 1-game injured list on July 29, forcing an already banged-up O-line to reshuffle. For a 4-4 team that just surrendered a franchise-worst 377 rushing yards to B.C., his absence isn't a sidebar — it's a structural problem.

2026 Season Analysis
The injury didn't just cost Broxton snaps; it pushed Micah Vanterpool from left guard/left tackle to right tackle, exposing both the line's fragility and Vanterpool's looming free agency — every game Broxton misses is money out of his teammate's pocket. Watch whether Broxton returns after the bye week and whether the Bombers trust him to hold the edge against a Lions front that just feasted on a reeling Winnipeg defence.
Contract & Salary
About $120,000 per season and a free agent this winter. The missed time — 7 games over two seasons — will be the elephant in the room of his negotiations.
Role on the Team
Broxton is the anchor at right tackle tasked with keeping Zach Collaros upright and stabilizing a run game that has lost its footing amid the line's revolving door.
