The East Division-leading Hamilton Tiger\u2011Cats have added some bite to their rushing game by adding American running back Kevin Brown.<\/p>\n
The CFL club announced Tuesday that it has signed Brown and Canadian long snapper Simon Chaves and released veteran defensive back Branden Dozier.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old Brown played three games with the Argos this season, recording 18 carries for 37 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
He previously played with Edmonton, and had his best season in 2023 when he rushed for 1,141 yards and four touchdowns while catching 28 passes for 222 yards and a TD.<\/p>\n
He has rushed for 2,186 yards and six touchdowns and put up 568 receiving yards and a touchdown over 40 career CFL games with Edmonton and Toronto.<\/p>\n
He joins a Ticats rushing attack that includes feature back Greg Bell, who recently returned from a calf injury, and Canadian veteran Johnny Augustine.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old Chaves, from Guelph, Ont., played six games with the Ottawa Redblacks this season before being released last week.<\/p>\n
He appeared in one game with the Argos last season and previously spent time with Edmonton and Winnipeg on their practice rosters.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Dozier, from Topeka, Kan., had 13 defensive tackles and one special teams tackle in four starts as a linebacker this season.<\/p>\n
The five-foot-eleven, 201-pound defensive back has recorded 416 defensive tackles, 75 special teams tackles, eight interceptions, five sacks, and three forced fumbles over 108 games with Montreal, B.C., Calgary and Hamilton.<\/p>\n
The Ticats take a six-game winning streak into a meeting Thursday night against the visiting B.C. Lions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The East Division-leading Hamilton Tiger\u2011Cats have added some bite to their rushing game by adding American running back…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-47460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
