The B.C. Lions have ruled out James Butler for Thursday's game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The veteran running back was listed as questionable for Thursday’s game due to a foot injury that limited him in practice this week. Emani Bailey will start in Butler's place. The five-foot-seven, 202-pound ball-carrier helped Texas Christian University reach the National Championship Game in 2022, and was named All-Big 12 in 2023. He rushed for 1,459 yards, caught 32 passes for 227 yards, and scored 11 touchdowns over 24 games with the Horned Frogs. #BCLions #Lions #BC #Vancouver #Winnipeg #Bombers #CFL #Canadian #Football
