Lions add K/P Camacho, Menard-Briere to practice roster
VANCOUVER — The BC Lions have signed K/P Jimmy Camacho (A) and K/P Felix Menard-Briere (N) to the practice roster, the team announced on Monday.
As per CFL rules, both players will go through necessary COVID protocols.
The news comes just a day after the team released Global kicker Takeru Yamasaki, who struggled through the first two games of the season, making just four of his eight field goal attempts.
Camacho, a Santa Ana, California native, most recently attended training camp with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2021 and was previously signed by the Lions in March of 2020.
Camacho spent 2019 with the Indoor Football League’s Arizona Rattlers where he led all league kickers in scoring with 121 points and earned All-IFL First-Team honours.
