Jacksonville is in line to sign Lewis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Coming off a career-best season in 2024 with Dallas, Lewis will now become the league's highest-paid nickel cornerback with the Jaguars. His presence should help to improve what was one of the worst passing defenses in football last year.
Lewis finished the 2024 season with a career-best 71 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass breakups, including an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 16 games. The slot cornerback also started 13 of those 16 games after only starting eight in 2023 and missing the majority of 2022 with a Lisfranc injury. Lewis, a 2017 third-round pick of the Cowboys, signed a one-year, $2.83-million contract with the only NFL team he's ever known last offseason, and he'll likely be a part of some team's plans for 2025 after establishing himself again this past year.
Lewis (elbow) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. The slot cornerback practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week after suffering the injury last Sunday against the Panthers. Lewis has played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last seven games he's played in. He has 55 tackles (31 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery on the year.
Lewis (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Lewis got in a round of limited practices this week after he was injured in last Sunday's win over the Panthers. With Trevon Diggs (knee) already ruled out, the Cowboys would need more out of Amani Oruwariye and Andrew Booth if Lewis were to miss Week 16.
Lewis (elbow) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Lewis suffered an elbow injury in the second half of the Cowboys' Week 15 win over the Panthers. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Over his last four games, Lewis has logged 19 tackles (10 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble.
Lewis is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers due to an elbow injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. Lewis logged three tackles, including a sack, before exiting during the second half. The 29-year-old has served as Dallas' top slot corner this season, totaling 52 tackles and four passes defended across 12 appearances coming into Week 15. With the game almost over, it's likely that Kemon Hall will step in at slot corner for the remainder of the fourth quarter.
Lewis (hamstring) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers. The slot cornerback was listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions all week, but he appears good to go. Lewis has been on the field for more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in each of the last six games in which he's played. On the year, he has 52 tackles (29 solo), four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
Lewis (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports. Lewis logged three consecutive limited practice sessions due to a hamstring injury following the Cowboys' Week 14 loss to the Bengals, putting his Week 15 status in doubt. The Michigan product has appeared in 12 games for Dallas this season, recording 52 total tackles and four passes defended. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, Kemon Hall will likely serve as the Cowboys' top slot corner.
Lewis was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough due to a hamstring injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. It's not clear when Lewis picked up the hamstring issue, as he played 100 percent of Dallas' defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Bengals. The Cowboys held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Lewis' level of participation when Dallas holds regular practices this week should better clarify whether he's in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers.
