Michael Sam has still not explained why he left the Montreal Alouettes just before the Canadian Football League season began. But he’s back now.
Sam wrote on Twitter today that he has re-joined the team after a two-week absence.
“Thank you all so much for your support. Great to be back in Montreal with the club. Let’s go #Als!” he wrote.
Sam, the 2013 SEC defensive player of the year, became the first openly gay player drafted by the NFL when he was selected by the Rams in the seventh round last year. He was cut after the preseason and didn’t play in the regular season. He is now attempting to become the first openly gay player in the CFL.
The Alouettes are 0-1, having lost the season-opener to the Ottawa Redblacks on Thursday night.
