The Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ trade of Ja’Gared Davis to the Calgary Stampeders has been voided after the veteran defensive end failed to pass his required physical examination upon arrival in Calgary.

Davis will now return to the Ticats and the Stampeders will retain their sixth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft, which was the initial compensation for the move executed on Tuesday, July 25.

The 32-year-old signed with the Ticats as a free agent this past off-season after a one-year stint with the Toronto Argonauts. He recorded seven defensive tackles over Hamilton’s first five games of the year but was a healthy scratch in Week 7.
