(Edmonton) - The Edmonton Eskimo Football Club has released import quarterback Steven Jyles.

General Manager Ed Hervey and Head Coach Kavis Reed will be available tomorrow, Tuesday January 22, at 2 p.m. in the Eskimo Locker Room for comment.

Jyles was traded to Edmonton in December 2011 from Toronto with non-import kicker Grant Shaw and Toronto's first selection (second overall) in the 2012 CFL Canadian Draft in exchange for quarterback Ricky Ray.

In 2012, Jyles dressed for 18 games with nine starts, seeing action in 10 games. He was 129 of 220 (58.6%) for 1,756 yards and six touchdowns and six interceptions. He also picked up 112 yards on 18 rushes. He left game eight with an injury in the first quarter and dressed but did not start the next three games due to injury.

"Steven is an outstanding professional that did everything asked of him. We really appreciate his professionalism and commitment to the team," says Reed.
