Defensive tackle Jonathan Williams, who played for the Argos in 2013, and was an original draft choice of Ottawa, has been cut by the Redblacks.
The Ottawa Redblacks now have just a half-dozen players remaining from the 2013 expansion draft.
Defensive tackle Jonathan Williams, one of eight “international” players selected from other Canadian Football League clubs, was released by the Redblacks on Wednesday, 11 days before the start of training camp.
A problematic groin injury restricted the now 30-year-old lineman to 12 regular-season games in 2014 and three in 2015, when he had corrective surgery.
Williams produced five quarterback sacks and a touchdown on an interception return against the Calgary Stampeders.
His departure leaves the Redblacks’ expansion-draft class comprising defensive linemen Zack Evans, Moton Hopkins and Andrew Marshall, offensive linemen J’Micheal Deane and Matt Albright and fullback Patrick Lavoie.
