The Edmonton Eskimos made a trade on Sunday with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, sending Canadian receiver Shamawd Chambers to Hamilton in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2018 CFL Draft and a fifth-round pick in 2019.

Chambers has been limited to just six games this season following a lower-body injury early in training camp. He has played in six games, catching four passes for 40 yards.

Chambers returned to the Eskimos in the off-season after spending the 2016 campaign with the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Chambers is a six-year CFL veteran and has recorded 1,543 yards receiving and has scored eight touchdowns.

Chambers is a native of Markham, Ontario.
