The CFL team announced Tuesday it had signed American running back Shaquille Cooper, who has CFL experience with the Edmonton Elks, B.C. Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

In seven games with Edmonton over the 2018 and ’19 seasons, Cooper rushed 90 times for 496 yards and two touchdowns and had 21 receptions for 156 yards and one TD.
Cooper, who played college football at Fort Hays State, joins Jonathan Femi-Cole, Kienan LaFrance, Shamar Moreland and Jamal Morrow in the Roughriders’ stable of tailbacks.
