TORONTO — The Toronto Argonauts are bringing back quarterback Adrian McPherson.

The short-yardage specialist re-joins the Argonauts after spending the 2015 season and 2016 training camp with the club.

Over six seasons with Montreal and Toronto, McPherson appeared in 98 games and rushed for 22 touchdowns, including a career-high nine with the Alouettes in 2012.

He has thrown for 1,515 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions over his career.

The Argos have also signed international defensive end Michael Buchanan.

The six-foot-six, 255-pound Chicago native joins the Argos after spending part of the 2015 season on the BC Lions practice roster, following stints in the NFL with the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills.

The Argonauts also announced that international defensive back Akwasi Owusu-Ansah has been placed on the club's six-game injured list.
