WINNIPEG — Less than a week after his release from the BC Lions, running back Shaq Cooper has found a new home.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced on Wednesday that the team has signed Cooper. The news comes on the heels of the Bombers adding a ballhawk, who is no stranger to the organization, to their secondary in defensive back Winston Rose.

Before his release last week, the five-foot-10, 190-pounder suited up in five games for the Leos, tallying 33 carries for 142 yards and a touchdown. He also added 11 catches for 69 yards through the air.
