The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are ready for the regular season after announcing their final roster cuts at the conclusion of training camp.
There were 21 players released Saturday, including receiver Papi White who played eight games for Hamilton last season and recorded 31 receptions for 309 yards in his sophomore year in the Canadian Football League.
With kicker Seth Small expected to return to the team following the birth of his child, Hamilton also parted ways with kickers Jonathan Garibay and Ethan Ratke.
Twelve players will begin the 2023 season on Hamilton’s practice roster.
The team’s taxi squad includes receiver Lio’Undre Gallimore, who returned a punt for a touchdown in the Ticats exhibition victory over Toronto on May 27, running back Tayon Fleet-Davis and punter Blake Hayes.
Hamilton officially added four players to the six-game injured list: running back Sean Thomas Erlington, receiver Anthony Johnson and defensive linemen Dylan Wynn and Cedric Wilcots II.
