Lewis (back) was waived by the Rams on Thursday.
Lewis played a consistent rotational role on defense over the first 11 weeks of the season, recording 13 tackles, one sack and two passes defended, including one interception, during this span. However, the third-year linebacker has been sidelined since he sustained a back injury Week 12 against Kansas City. While the specifics of this issue are still unclear, Lewis will likely look to recover in time to land a spot with an active roster elsewhere before the end of the regular season.
