TSN Promos – Several Eskimo players got in their full uniforms today to pose for the TSN camera. The “dramatic” shots will be used throughout the season during TSN broadcasts.

Put me in, coach – Less than 24 hours after arriving in Edmonton, QB Eric Ward took his first reps this morning at practice.

Another QB – The Esks announced today that veteran QB Kerry Joseph will join the team at tomorrow’s practice. Joseph spent the last couple weeks of the 2010 season with the green and gold.

The Eskimo Way – After practice, former Eskimo great Jed Roberts talked to the team about what it means to be an Eskimo.
