>>Delahunt makes CFL debut

Former UConn tight end John Delahunt became the first player from the 2012 Connecticut squad to play in a professional game when he suited up in the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats' preseason opener Thursday night.

Delahunt, listed as a fullback for Hamilton, caught an eight-yard pass in the second quarter as Hamilton jumped out to a 23-10 halftime lead.<<
