Former Nebraska cornerback Joshua Mitchell is getting a crack at the Canadian Football League.

Mitchell was among four defenders signed this week by the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Mitchell spent last season on the injured reserve list with the Indianapolis Colts.

The 5-foot-11, 160-pound Mitchell was signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent after the 2015 NFL Draft, but injured his knee in May and spent the season on the team’s injured reserve list.

As a senior at Nebraska, Mitchell started all 13 games and finished the season with 39 tackles, including 33 solo stops. He added a pair of sacks for 14 yards, both coming against Purdue, and he had a 57-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Miami.
