Former UConn running back Andre Dixon was cut by the CFL's British Columbia Lions on Sunday.

Dixon was signed by the Lions last month but caught up in the numbers game at running back for British Columbia. Dixon ran for 1,958 yards and caught 37 passes for the Huskies from 2007-09. He went to training camp with the New York Giants in 2010 and had a stint with the UFL's Hartford Colonials during that same year.

Terence Jeffers-Harris, who played at UConn and had 61 catches during the 2006 and 2007 seasons before transferring to Vanderbilt (but never playing for the Commodores), was also released by Calgary on Sunday.
