WINNIPEG — Buck Pierce will not dress against the Montreal Alouettes Friday evening at Canad Inns Stadium.

The Bombers released their game day roster Thursday morning and Pierce has been dropped from the quarterback depth chart.

Instead, the Bombers will dress Alex Brink as their starter, followed by backup Justin Goltz and, for the first time this season, Brandon Summers.

The news that Pierce will not dress at all came just one day after head coach Paul LaPolice suggested the only two quarterback scenarios he was considering for Friday’s game would have seen Pierce dress as either the starter or the third-string designated clipboard holder.
