Locksley (26) became part of the Elks in 2022. He played in the Week 3, 43-31 defeat to the Toronto Argonauts, as he fumbled on his only offensive snap in the match.

Ford, who was drafted in the 2022 CFL Draft with the 8^th overall pick, had an injury in his 2^nd career start. When he healed, he would go on to play 10 matches during the 2022 campaign, as he threw for 461 yards and had 2 TDs.

Kai was put on the franchise 1-match injury list but will be available for Edmonton’s next clash in the Canadian Football League.
