Coach Frank Reich said that Lewis (toe) will participate in practice Wednesday, Adam Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
The news means that Lewis has been designated as one of the Colts' two players eligible to return from injured reserve. After opening the campaign on IR, the rookie second-round pick won't be eligible to return until after Week 8, making the Colts' Nov. 11 game against the Jaguars the earliest possible date he could make his debut. Indianapolis will have up to 21 days to evaluate Lewis during practice and reinstate him to the 53-man roster or leave him on IR for the rest of the season. Prior to injuring his foot, Lewis had made a strong impression during the Colts' offseason program and in training camp, so he could claim a spot in the defensive-end rotation if he ends up getting activated.
