The New Orleans Saints have invited former CFL offensive lineman Colin Kelly to an upcoming minicamp.

The six-foot-five, 298-pound blocker started 14 games for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2022 following a trade from the Edmonton Elks. He was issued a two-game suspension by the CFL following the season after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Kelly signed with the Seattle Sea Dragons in February and was named All-XFL following the completion of the season. Seattle went 7-3 in the regular season but were eliminated from postseason contention by the D.C. Defenders in the North Division Championship Game on April 30.
