The Saskatchewan Roughriders made several moves on Sunday including signing veteran offensive lineman Colin Kelly. In addition, Saskatchewan added 11 players to the practice squad, released 22 players, and placed three players on the suspended list as they are returning to school.

Colin Kelly is six foot five and weighs 298 pounds. The 33-year-old from Longview, Washington, played ten games for the Seattle Sea Dragons (XFL) in 2023. Before Seattle, Kelly played 14 games for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2022.

Kelly signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2012. In 2013, he signed with the Ottawa Redblacks and played 26 games in two seasons before returning to the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. After the 49ers released him, he went to the Chicago Bears before returning to the 49ers, and later the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2017.

After Jacksonville released him, Kelly signed with the Edmonton Eskimos (now Elks) and played 50 games in three and half seasons before Edmonton traded him to Hamilton in 2022.

Collegiately, Kelly played 48 games in four seasons at Oregon State (2009-12). He started 25 games playing right tackle for the Beavers.
