The Montreal Alouettes have released American defensive linemen Nick Heninger and Jabari Ellis.

Heninger dressed for the team’s season-opening victory over the Ottawa Redblacks, though he did not record any statistics. He was moved to the one-game injured list for the following game before being added to the practice roster this past week.

The 27-year-old was named honourable mention all-Mountain West at Utah State in 2021 after recording 75 total tackles, nine sacks, 21.5 tackles for loss, and five forced fumbles over 14 starts with the Aggies.
