EDMONTON — The Edmonton Elks have added American wide receiver TJ Luther to the practice roster. In addition, wide receiver J.J. Jones II has been released, the club announced Wednesday.
Luther (5-11, 200) joins the Elks after spending the previous two seasons in the National Football League. The wideout began his college career at Wofford (2018-2020) before transferring to Gardner-Webb University (2022-2023). With the Running Bulldogs, Luther suited up for 19 games where he recorded 1,419 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns, and averaged over 18 yards per reception.
