Cam Lewis Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bills vs Texans game on Thursday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 16, 2025
Active Sunday, as is Taron Johnson
Lewis (calf) is active for Sunday's Week 11 battle against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Lewis battled a calf injury this week and was limited in all three of Buffalo's practices. He's ultimately going to be able to play, but Taron Johnson (groin) is active as well after missing the Bills' past two contests. That likely means Lewis will return to a rotational role after starting in the slot while Johnson was sidelined.

Questionable for Sunday
Lewis (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Lewis was a limited participant in all three practices this week with a calf injury. The slot cornerback was able to play through a shoulder injury in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins despite logging limited sessions throughout that week as well. The 28-year-old's status for Sunday's game may also revolve around the starting slot cornerback Taron Johnson (groin), and his availability. If Lewis is able to suit up he will likely either backup a starting Johnson or share slot cornerback snaps with fellow University at Buffalo product Ja'Marcus Ingram if Johnson is unable to go for a third straight week.

Suiting up against Miami
Lewis is active for Thursday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Lewis had a questionable tag heading into the game due to a shoulder injury after practicing in limited fashion throughout the week. He'll be ready for action and could see some work in the secondary after playing 33 defensive snaps in Week 2.
Sep 17, 2025
Questionable for TNF
Lewis (shoulder) is questionable to play in Thursday night's contest in Miami.
ANALYSIS
Lewis was a limited participant at practice throughout the week while dealing with an apparent shoulder injury. The 28-year-old operates as a depth option at both safety and cornerback with Buffalo, so his absence would carry some significance for the team. If he can't go in Week 3, Brandon Codrington and Sam Franklin would be candidates to see an increase in workload.
Sep 3, 2025
Logs full practice Wednesday
Lewis (calf) was not listed on Buffalo's injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Lewis dealt with a calf injury during training camp that forced him to miss some preseason action, but it appears he'll be healthy for Sunday's game versus the Ravens. He figures to play a depth role in the Bills' defensive backfield in 2025.
Aug 17, 2025
Not playing Sunday
Lewis (calf) is inactive for Sunday's preseason game against the Bears, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis appears to have picked up an apparent calf injury during training camp, and he will now be forced to miss Buffalo's second preseason contest. The safety will look to return to the field for Saturday's preseason finale in Tampa Bay.
Feb 4, 2025
Has career-best season
Over 17 regular-season games in 2024, Lewis recorded 68 tackles (47 solo) and four passes defensed, including an interception.
ANALYSIS
After not reaching 150 defensive snaps in any of his first four seasons as a pro, Lewis was on the field for 569 defensive snaps in 2024. This was due in large part to injuries to other Buffalo defensive backs, most notably a four-game absence from regular starting slot cornerback Taron Johnson early in the season. Lewis is slated to return with the Bills in 2025, and the team may need to shake up its corner rotation if Rasul Douglas leaves in free agency.
Sep 9, 2024
Sees increased snaps sans Johnson
Lewis finished Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals with 10 tackles (seven solo).
ANALYSIS
Lewis saw increased action at nickel corner after Taron Johnson left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a forearm injury. Lewis took advantage of the extra playing time, and he finished second on the Bills in both combined and solo tackles behind linebacker Terrel Bernard. Johnson has already been ruled out for Week 2 against the Dolphins on Thursday, and Lewis will likely serve as the Bills' nickel corner for that contest.
Mar 11, 2024
Inks new deal
Lewis re-signed with the Bills on a two-year contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Lewis will remain in Buffalo after a 2023 campaign that saw him play a career-high 134 snaps on defense and 319 special-teams snaps in 17 contests. The 26-year-old will likely maintain a limited role on defense in 2024, but he'll work to carve out a larger role there during the team's offseason programs.
Oct 22, 2023
Active Sunday
Lewis (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback carried a questionable tag into Sunday. Lewis was active last Sunday versus the Giants but did not see any snaps. The fifth-year depth player has six tackles in six games this season.
Oct 21, 2023
Questionable for divisional matchup
Lewis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England due to a shoulder issue, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis is normally a depth piece on defense, not exceeding 14 percent of the defensive snaps in any game this season, but the Bills have been working with a thin secondary ever since Tre'Davious White was lost for the season with a torn Achilles, so every healthy body matters.
Oct 16, 2023
Day-to-day with stinger
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Lewis is day-to-day with a stinger, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis did not play any defensive snaps Sunday versus the Giants, and that he's dealing with some pain might help to explain why. He'll get a few chances to show improvement over the week at practice before Buffalo's game at New England in Week 7.
Aug 12, 2023
Sidelined Saturday
Lewis (groin) is not suited up for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Colts, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis has been sidelined since Wednesday's practice after suffering a groin injury. He is competing for a role in the Colts' secondary against a crowded room, so a return to action sooner than later will be beneficial for his chances.
Aug 10, 2023
Misses Wednesday's session
Lewis missed Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills are running deep in the secondary after some offseason additions, so Lewis can't afford to be out for any length of time if he hopes to secure a roster spot. Consider him a question mark for Saturday's preseason opener against the Colts.
Mar 13, 2023
Inks new deal with Buffalo
The Bills re-signed Lewis to a one-year contract Monday.
ANALYSIS
Lewis is now slated to remain in Buffalo through at least the 2023 season following Monday's agreement. The 25-year-old has primarily operated as a depth piece within the Bills' secondary over the previous three campaigns, though, he posted a career-high 21 tackles across 15 appearances last year.
Nov 18, 2022
Returns in full Friday
Lewis (forearm/illness) was listed as a full participant on Friday's estimate and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Lewis missed both of Wednesday's and Thursday's sessions as a result of an illness and forearm issue, but he's since been marked down as a full participant on Friday's practice estimate and expects to be made available for the Week 11 matchup versus Cleveland. With Jordan Poyer (elbow) currently at risk of missing his third consecutive game, Lewis might be looking at another busy afternoon as one of the Bills' starting safeties alongside Damar Hamlin.
Nov 16, 2022
Misses Wednesday's session
Lewis missed practice Wednesday due to a forearm injury/illness.
ANALYSIS
Of course, Bills fans were feeling ill after Lewis failed to bat the ball down on a 4th-and-18 play that would have sealed Sunday's game against the Vikings, but to his credit he owned up to the error. We're not sure if either issue is serious for Lewis or if he just needs more of a maintenance day. Lewis was thrown into heavy action in Week 10 due to the Buffalo secondary being so banged up, and he posted a career-high nine tackles.
Nov 13, 2022
Expected to start
Lewis is expected to draw the start at free safety Sunday against the Vikings, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
ANALYSIS
Lewis appears to have moved ahead of Jaquan Johnson on the team's positional depth chart, and he'll get the chance to start in place of Jordan Poyer (elbow) against Minnesota.
Sep 5, 2022
Not listed on injury report
Lewis (nose) isn't listed on the Bills' injury report Monday.
ANALYSIS
Lewis suffered a nose injury during Friday's preseason finale but appears healthy heading into Thursday's season-opening matchup against the Rams. The third-year defensive back has appeared in 12 games over the last two seasons with Buffalo, posting 14 tackles and one forced fumble.
Aug 26, 2022
Injures nose Friday
Lewis suffered a nose injury during Friday's preseason finale against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, Lewis was evaluated under the medical tent after leaving the game in the third quarter. The third-year defensive back registered two tackles before suffering the injury.
Dec 30, 2021
Returns from COVID list
Lewis (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Lewis tested positive for the virus earlier this week but was able to quickly clear the health and safety protocols. He should return to his role on special teams for Week 17 now that he's back on the active roster.
Dec 27, 2021
Heads to COVID list
Lewis was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Even though the Bills pulled off a major win Sunday at New England, like a lot of teams they are starting to suffer multiple hits due to injuries and COVID issues. Lewis has seen more than 50 percent of the special-teams snaps the last two weeks. If he's vaccinated, he'll have time to clear the protocols and not miss any action heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons.
