The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed American defensive back Brad Muhummad and American defensive tackle Miles Fox to their practice roster.

Muhammad started 16 games with the Calgary Stampeders this past season, recording 50 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles, one tackle for loss, 10 pass knockdowns, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. He was cut by the team following training camp earlier this month.

The five-foot-ten, 189-pound cover man broke into the league as a member of the Ottawa Redblacks in 2021, making 14 defensive tackles and two tackles for loss. The 27-year-old has previously been a member of the Cedar Rapids River Kings of the Indoor Football League and won a championship with the Albany Empire of the now National Arena League.

Fox was a member of the B.C. Lions last year and recorded three tackles with the team. He was released by the club earlier this month as part of roster cutdowns.

The six-foot-one, 297-pound defender had a six-year collegiate career at Old Dominion (2015-18) and Wake Forest (2020-21) and recorded 174 total tackles, 35 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, and three forced fumbles in 52 games.

Winnipeg has also released defensive back Matt Cole and American defensive tackle Caleb Thomas.
