Damien Lewis Latest News
Out versus Cincinnati
Lewis (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Lewis left last week's win over the Raiders with the injury. Chandler Zavala came in as Lewis' replacement and is the sensible option to start at left guard Sunday versus Cincinnati.
Logs DNP
Lewis (elbow) did not practice Thursday. Lewis left last Sunday's win over the Raiders early with the injury, which Joe Person of The Athletic reports is a torn UCL. The LSU product is hoping to not miss any time, noting that it's an overhead throwing injury, and he may be able to play through it. He's currently questionable for Week 4 against the Bengals.
Leaves game Sunday
Lewis left Sunday's 36-22 win over the Raiders with an elbow injury, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. The starting left guard dealt with a groin injury leading up to Week 2 but played anyway. Lewis signed a four-year, $53-million contract with the Panthers in the offseason. Chandler Zavala is his backup.
Will play Sunday
Lewis (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. After logging three limited practices during Week 2 prep, Lewis drew a questionable tag. However, the 26-year-old has been given the green light and will assume his usual spot as the Panthers' starting left guard. Lewis didn't miss an offensive snap in Week 1.
Joining Panthers
Lewis agreed to terms on a four-year, $53 million contract with the Panthers on Monday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports. Lewis, a former third-round pick, missed just three games during his four-year tenure in Carolina. The 26-year-old is now in line to protect Bryce Young for the foreseeable future.
