Lewis (knee) was activated from the active/PUP list Tuesday.
Lewis suffered a ruptured patellar tendon Week 8 last season, which the 28-year-old was still recovering from. Selected in the second round of the 2018 Draft, Lewis' career has been hindered by injuries, and he's only appeared in more than nine games once in his five-year career. He'll work to stay healthy this season after securing a one-year contract with the team in March.

Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Lands another deal with Indy
Rotowire
The Colts signed Lewis (knee) to a one-year, $2.1 million contract Sunday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Lewis will stick with the Colts for a sixth season heading into his age-28 campaign in 2023. The 277-pound defensive end previously re-signed with Indianapolis on a one-year, $3 million deal heading into this past season. However, he sustained a season-ending torn patellar tendon in his left knee during Week 8, limiting him to just 14 tackles, one sack and two passes defended over seven appearances. This also marked the second year in a row that Lewis suffered a season-ending knee injury, but he's been a regular rotational player on the Colts' defensive front when healthy.

The Colts placed Lewis (knee) on the active/PUP list Sunday, Chris Widlic of CBS4Indy reports.
Lewis suffered a significant knee injury Week 8 last year and finished the season on IR. It's unclear how much time he may miss, but he'll be eligible to return at any point before the initial 53-man roster deadline.

Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Another injury-plagued year
Rotowire
Lewis posted five tackles over nine games in 2019.
Lewis only played eight games in 2018 -- his rookie season -- and an ankle injury forced him to miss another seven games this year. He made the shift to defensive tackle and averaged a respectable 25.3 defensive snaps per game behind Grover Stewart and Denico Autry (concussion). Lewis' fantasy outlook is limited in 2020 even if he snags a starting role due to his inability to stay healthy.

Rotowire

Colts' Tyquan Lewis: Out nine weeks with foot injury
Rotowire
Lewis is nursing a foot injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for about nine weeks, Zak Keefer of The Indianapolis Star reports.
It's never ideal to lose a rookie second-round pick two weeks before the start of the season. For the Colts, matters are only made worse when coupling Lewis' injury with the fact that Denico Autry (lower leg) might not be ready before the season opener. With Lewis out, Grover Stewart or Hassan Ridgeway could be asked to help fill the temporary void.
