Alumni News - DePalma to Roughriders Practice Squad

Two days after being released by the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League, former Golden Ram wide receiver Dan DePalma has been named to their practice squad. He is one of four wide receivers on the Riders' practice squad and the only non-Canadian among them. DePalma had signed a free agent contract with the Riders earlier this month. He spent last year on the San Diego Chargers' practice squad after catching seven passes for 70 yards in the preseason. He spent 2012 on the New York Giants practice squad and 2011 in the New York Jets' training camp.

The Riders open the regular season on Sunday, June 29 when they host West Chester alumnus Sam Scott and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in a rematch of last year's Grey Cup.
