Canadian defensive back Matt Bucknor has signed with the Calgary Stampeders.
The Stampeders announced Thursday they've added Bucknor to the practice roster, less than a week after the veteran DB was released by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The release of the five-foot-11, 190-pound Bucknor was surprising as the 30-year-old Hamilton native was a former starter with Winnipeg.
Bucknor began his CFL career in 2012 as an undrafted free agent with Hamilton and played two seasons with the Tiger-Cats before being dealt to Winnipeg.
