The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have agreed to terms with running back John White, per sources.

White was released by the Edmonton Eskimos the day before training camps opened.

The 26-year-old is coming off a torn ACL suffered in the second game of the 2017 season after rushing for over 100 yards and one touchdown in Week 1. That made two season-ending injuries for White in the last three years. He tore his Achilles during training camp and missed the entire 2015 campaign.
