MONTREAL — Receiver T.J. Graham is back with the Montreal Alouettes.

The five-foot-11, 188-pound Graham signed with the CFL club Thursday. The Alouettes also added international defensive tackle Lawrence Okoye to the practice roster.

Graham signed with Montreal in May and in two pre-season games had four catches for 49 yards before being released. He participated in the Carolina Panthers’ training camp before being released.

Graham has spent five seasons in the NFL with Buffalo, the New York Jets and New Orleans, registering 61 catches for 794 yards and four TDs in 47 career games.

"Graham had a great camp with us," head coach/GM Kavis Reed said in a statement. "We are very happy to see him back with the team.

"The Alouettes just brought in an important player who will be a great asset to our lineup."

Montreal also released defensive lineman Ventral McMillan.
