Winnipeg’s Brady Oliveira was named the sixth CFL rusher so far to pass 6,000 yards in a July 24, 2026 game against Calgary in a night game. He opened the second quarter of the contest 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, leaving Oliveira a unique talent, establishing a new benchmark. Oliveira hasn’t missed a start since 2017, showing his durability, a testament of his consistency. He now leads all current CFL rushers in career yards, underscoring his position at the top, outpacing his rivals. Winnipeg still tries to make the playoffs this year, striving for a postseason berth, in spite of stiff competition.
