All-star receiver Mack back with Alouettes after NFL stint with Falcons
All-star receiver Austin Mack is back with the Montreal Alouettes after a stint with the NFL's Atlanta Falcons.
The CFL club announced Mack's return in a release on Monday.
Mack played one pre-season game with the Atlanta Falcons last week after signing with the team in January.
He was released on Aug. 12.
The 26-year-old American was named a CFL all-star in 2023, his first season in the league, when he caught 78 passes for 1,154 yards and four touchdowns.
He added six receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown in the Alouettes' 28-24 win over Winnipeg in the Grey Cup game.
"We just added a star receiver to our roster, and we are very happy about it," Alouettes general manager Danny Maciocia said in a statement. "Mack was a key part of our success in 2023.
"He knows our coaches, our players, and is familiar with our systems. Plus, he's someone who brings a lot with his positive attitude."
The Alouettes (9-1) return to action Sunday when they host Edmonton.
