Ottawa Redblacks acquire linebacker Patrick Nelson in trade with Ticats

The Ottawa Redblacks have brought in reinforcements for their ailing linebacking corps, acquiring American linebacker Patrick Nelson from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in exchange for an undisclosed player from the team’s negotiation list.

The 25-year-old Nelson arrived in Hamilton by way of Southern Methodist University, where he recorded 146 tackles, 23.5 for a loss, 14 sacks, three interceptions, and two forced fumbles through 22 games. Prior to that, the Chicago native appeared in 20 games with the University of Illinois, notching 140 tackles, five for a loss, 0.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.

Nelson has been on the Ticats practice roster since 2021 but has yet to see regular-season action.
