Just like Ohio State in 2014, the Edmonton Elks are turning to Cardale Jones to replace an injured J.T. Barrett.
Edmonton announced the signing of Jones on Friday while simultaneously announcing it was moving Barrett to the retired list due to an injury Barrett suffered in late March that would have kept him out for the entire 2022 season.
