Lions expected to add former Riders coach to staff

The Lions are expected to add former Riders receivers coach Marcus Howell to their coaching staff, according to TSN’s Farhan Lalji.

I'm expecting #BCLions to round out their coaching staff by adding Marcus Howell as receivers coach & passing game coordinator. Had a very good relationship with new OC Jarious Jackson in Sask. @CFLonTSN @cfl @CFL_News #Riders @TSN1040
