As the Edmonton Elks prepare to face the Montreal Alouettes for their second game of the CFL season, the club announced Tuesday that it has signed a player that was released by the Quebec club earlier this year.
In a news release, the Elks said the club has signed wide receiver Tevin Jones, who accumulated 65 catches, 882 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 17 games with the Saskatchewan Roughriders last season.
The 31-year-old American began his CFL career with the Roughriders in 2022. Before that, he had stints with several NFL teams and played five games with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019.
The Elks will face the Alouettes at Commonwealth Stadium on Friday night. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time.
