EDMONTON — Former University of Tennessee football player Kendal Vickers is playing for the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League.

Vickers, a defensive lineman, was signed as a free agent on May 19.

He has appeared in all three games for Edmonton this summer. The Eskimos are 2-1 and are a top team in the CFL’s Western Conference. Edmonton has home wins over the hapless Montreal Aloulettes and the British Columbia Lions.

Edmonton edged Montreal (0-3), 32-25, in Week 1 and followed that up with another home victory over British Columbia, 39-23, on June 21.

The Eskimos hit the road for the first time in 2019 on Thursday night and came up on the short end of a 28-21 decision to the host Blue Bombers in Winnipeg.

The Blue Bombers are the lone undefeated team in the CFL’s Eastern Conference after the first three weeks of the 2019 campaign.
