REGINA — The Saskatchewan Roughriders continue to juggle their offensive line, signing veteran offensive lineman Ryan White and reportedly dropping Andrew Jones.

The team has not confirmed the release of Jones, who tweeted he had been released on Wednesday afternoon.

Along with the addition of White, a former Montreal Alouette, the Riders also announced they’ve signed former Eskimos running back Aaron Milton to a free agent deal.
