After a year off from professional football, Tony Lippett is back in the game.
The former Michigan State standout has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, according to TSN. Lippett last appeared in an NFL game in 2018 with the New York Giants. He was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals at the onset of the 2019 season, but was a final camp cut before the season. Lippett has played in 28 NFL games since he was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He recorded 81 tackles and four interceptions in those games. Lippett was a starter in the secondary for the Dolphins during the 2016 season, but a torn Achilles in 2017 training camp essentially ended his time in Miami and derailed his NFL career.
The 2014 Big Ten receiver of the year will look to get things going in the right direction north of the border whenever the COVID-19 pandemic allows. The CFL was scheduled to begin on June 11, but that has been postponed indefinitely.
