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