[2] It was announced on December 19, 2019, that Carnell had re-signed with the Tiger-Cats, but did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season. [6]

[2] [10] In the team's next game, he started at halfback and recorded his first career interception, on August 20, 2022, against the Calgary Stampeders. [2] [10] He continued to start in the secondary and scored his first career touchdown on September 24, 2022, in a game against the Ottawa Redblacks, when he intercepted Caleb Evans and returned the ball 35 yards for the score. [11] In that same game, he also recorded his first multiple interception game since he had picked off Nick Arbuckle earlier in the game. [11]
