An announcement regarding Fulton’s contract status is expected before the Riders open training camp Sunday in Saskatoon.

Fulton, 30, spent four seasons with the Riders after being acquired from the Edmonton Eskimos for a conditional sixth-round selection in the 2012 CFL draft.

He dressed for 65 regular-season games with the Riders before filing for free agency in February. Fulton re-signed with the Riders after NFL tryouts with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons.

Meanwhile, Riders defensive end Shawn Lemon tweeted on Sunday that the Roughriders have signed defensive tackle Jonathan Williams. Williams was released on May 8 after spending two injury-marred seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks.
