“Tyrell was one of our most physical players last season, creating holes when there sometimes weren’t any and stretching plays when they seemed to be over,” Alouettes general manager Kavis Reed said in a statement. “He is devoted to his team as well as his teammates and we are excited to have him back with us in 2018.”

Sutton has rushed for 3,156 yards and 14 touchdowns and added 1,198 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 60 career CFL games with Montreal.
