The Hamilton Tiger-Cats continue to be one of the hottest teams in the CFL, riding a six-game win streak to the top of the East division. While the Tiger-Cats have needed to manage injuries to many key players during this run of wins, they have continued to add talent to their roster in an effort to maintain the quality of their roster. This strategy has paid off for Hamilton, as despite several injuries to their defensive line and offensive backfield, the Tiger-Cats continue to win games.
In Week 10, the Tiger-Cats continue to add talent in an effort to maintain the strength of their roster. According to a tweet from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats X account, the Tiger-Cats have signed National long snapper Simon Chaves and American running back Kevin Brown, and have released American defensive back Brendan Dozier.
Running back Kevin Brown comes to Hamilton after spending time with the Toronto Argonauts in 2025 and the Edmonton Elks from 2022 until 2024. While playing for the Argonauts, Brown played in three games and carried the ball 18 times for 37 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Previously, Brown played in 37 games for the Edmonton Elks, and during his four-year CFL career, Brown has rushed for 2,186 yards with six rushing touchdowns. In addition, Brown has caught 79 passes for 568 yards and has caught one touchdown pass.
The 5’9″, 205-pound running back is a native of South Carolina, and he played college football at the University of Incarnate Word from 2019 until 2021. While playing at Incarnate Word, Brown appeared in 31 games and ran the ball 353 times for 2,451 rushing yards, scoring 20 rushing touchdowns. In addition to his rushing yards, Brown caught 66 passes for 623 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.
Long snapper Simon Chaves joins the Tiger-Cats roster during his fourth season playing in the CFL. The 5’11”, 215-pound Chaves is from Guelph, Ontario, and played U Sports football at the University of Guelph, where he played as a linebacker in addition to being a long snapper. During his CFL career, Chaves has played with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Ottawa Redblacks, and the Edmonton Elks.
