Ottawa Redblacks sign veteran Canadian centre Sean McEwen

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Redblacks signed veteran Canadian centre Sean McEwen on Monday.

The six-foot-one, 295-pound McEwen spent last season with the Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders but didn’t play for the team after suffering a season-ending knee injury during training camp.

McEwen, 32, has appeared in 132 career regular-season games with the Calgary Stampeders (2021-24) and Toronto Argonauts (2016-19). He has earned all-CFL honours three times (2017, 21, 22).

“Sean is a competitor who will bring a veteran presence to our offensive line room,” Ryan Dinwiddie, Ottawa’s head coach/GM, said in a statement. “He’s a champion who will contribute to what we’re building on our offensive line and help set the standard for some of the young players we have in the building.”
