The Edmonton Elks acquired offensive lineman Theren Churchill on Sunday from the Toronto Argonauts for a sixth round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft. The pick can become a fifth round if Churchill makes the Elks’ 45-man active roster for a minimum of nine games in the 2023 season.
Theren Churchill is six foot six and weighs 295 pounds. The 28-year-old from Stettler, Alberta, played 11 games for the Argonauts in 2022, helping them win the Grey Cup.
