Rodgers started 11 of 12 games for the Montreal Alouettes last season, racking up 37 tackles, two tackles for loss, three pass breakups and two interceptions. At Texas State, he contributed 156 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, seven interceptions, 25 pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Geiger was signed by the team back in December but has not played in a game after starting the season on the practice roster. Milton had also been on the practice roster after signing with the team last month.

Hamilton (0-2) is coming off a last-second field goal loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2-0) in Week 2. The Tiger-Cats will travel to Saskatchewan on Sunday for a rematch against the Riders.
