VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions signed veteran slotback Kamau Peterson on Thursday while releasing two other players.
The Lions become the fifth team Peterson has suited up for over his 10-year CFL career. He also had prior stints with Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton and Edmonton.
B.C. also released defensive back Marquez Hall and receiver Will Osborne, both imports, to reach the league-mandated 68-man training camp roster limit.
Kamau reported to the Lions last week to undergo testing by the CFL club. The six-foot, 190-pound receiver missed 11 games with Edmonton last year with a ruptured Achilles tendon before being released in the off-season.
Peterson enters the season having registered 522 catches for 6,741 yards and 28 TDs over his CFL career. He was named the league’s top Canadian in 2008.
