Khalif Mitchell is back in the CFL
The Saskatchewan Roughriders signed the veteran defensive lineman to their practice roster on Wednesday. Mitchell last played with the B.C. Lions in 2014.
A two-time All-Star, Mitchell registered just one sack in 11 games two years ago.
Mitchell recorded five sacks with the Toronto Argonauts in 2013.
The 31-year-old spent training camp with the Montreal Alouettes, but was released shortly after creating a firestorm for the team and league with offensive tweets.
The Riders also announced the release of receiver Kris Bastien.
The 1-8 Riders face Winnipeg in the annual Labour Day Classic Sunday at 1.
