EDMONTON – ​ The Edmonton Elks have released American defensive back Aaron Grymes, the club announced Thursday.

Grymes spent eight seasons (2013-15, 2017-18, 2021-23) with the Green and Gold, where he recorded 240 defensive tackles, 19 special teams tackles and 12 interceptions in 79 career games with Edmonton.

Grymes played the 2019 season with the BC Lions and returned to Edmonton for the 2021 season. He would miss the entire 2022 and 2023 seasons due to a knee injury.

The Edmonton Elks will return to the field in 2024 for the club’s 75th CFL season.
