Winnipeg’s Brady Oliveira emerged as the sixth CFL rusher in league history to pass 6,000 yards during a July 24, 2026 game against Calgary in a night game. He opened the second quarter of the game with a 45-yard score, launching his team's offense, quickly energizing the fans. No other active Canadian running back has done this much yardage so far, making Oliveira a unique talent, creating a new benchmark. Oliveira hasn’t missed a start since 2017, demonstrating his durability, proof of his consistency. He now leads all current CFL rushers in career yards, underscoring his position at the top, surpassing his rivals. Winnipeg still tries to make the playoffs this year, hoping for a postseason berth, in spite of stiff competition.
