Edmonton has inked quarterback Eli Jenkins.

The Eskimos added him to their neg list on September 13, 2015.

Jenkins was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2017, but the six-foot-two, 210-pounder was released before training camp after the bolts acquired quarterback Cardale Jones from the Buffalo Bills.
