Mar 17, 2022 | 10:21 AM

The Saskatchewan Roughriders added a CFL veteran to their offensive line Thursday.

The Roughriders announced they had signed offensive tackle Jamal Campbell, a 28-year-old who spent the previous six seasons with his hometown Toronto Argonauts.

The 6-foot-5, 292-pounder was selected by Toronto in the third round (22nd overall) of the 2016 CFL draft out of York University.

He played 59 games with the Argos, with 20 starts — including nine last season. He missed the final five regular-season games and the East Division final in 2021 due to injury.

The Argos released Campbell on Monday after failing to rework his contract.
