Marcedes Lewis Injury News & Updates

Lewis reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Lewis got his third straight elevation for Sunday's Week 12 win over the Chiefs. He played 12 of the Broncos' 62 offensive snaps, working as the team's No. 3 tight end. Lewis didn't see any targets in the victory, which isn't a surprise since he's used mainly as a blocker. Denver would need to sign Lewis to the active roster for him to suit up again, as he's reached the maximum number of elevations for the campaign.

The Broncos elevated Lewis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

It's the third consecutive week that the veteran tight end has been elevated to the active roster, and he will be available for Sunday's game against the Chiefs as the Broncos' TE3 behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman. Lewis didn't see a target from Bo Nix through his first two appearances with Denver.

Lewis reverted to Denver's practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transactions log.

Lewis suited up for his second game of the season in Week 10 versus the Raiders, and he again did not record a stat Thursday. The Broncos will be able to elevate him from the practice squad one more time this year before they would be required to sign him to the active roster to make him eligible to play.

The Broncos have elevated Lewis from the practice squad for Thursday's matchup against Las Vegas, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Lewis was previously elevated for Denver's win over the Texans in Week 9, a contest in which he played six offensive snaps and was not targeted. The veteran tight end will get another chance to handle reserve duties versus the Raiders on Thursday Night Football, with Nate Adkins (knee) sidelined for a second straight contest.

Lewis reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Lewis joined the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday and was elevated for Sunday's game against the Texans to provide depth at tight end due to the absences of Lucas Krull (foot - IR) and Nate Adkins (knee). The 41-year-old Lewis saw the field for just six of the Broncos' 63 offensive snaps -- well behind Adam Trautman (46) and Evan Engram (32) -- and did not show up in the box score otherwise. Lewis could be elevated for Thursday's game against the Raiders to serve as the TE3 if Adkins is not cleared to play.

Lewis was elevated from the Broncos' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

The 41-year-old veteran was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Texans. Injuries to Lucas Krull (foot) and Nate Adkins (knee) will render them unable to compete Sunday, so the Broncos will turn to Lewis to provide offensive and special teams value behind Evan Engram and Adam Trautman.

Lewis signed with the Broncos' practice squad Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 41-year-old is expected to provide depth at tight end, as Lucas Krull (foot) and Nate Adkins (knee) are both currently dealing with injuries. Lewis appeared in 17 games for the Bears in 2024, catching his lone target for two yards across 260 total snaps (209 on offense, 51 on special teams).

Lewis played in 17 games for the Bears, catching is lone target for two yards.

Lewis played 20 percent of the snaps, though he was primarily used as a blocker. The veteran will be an unrestricted free agent who will turn 41 years old this offseason. If Lewis chooses to sign with a team, he'll likely resume a similar role to the one that had him being targeted 13 times over the last three years.

Lewis went without a target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers while playing six of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense.

Lewis has suited up in each of Chicago's first 13 games of the season, but he's played more than 20 snaps on offense on just one occasion and has logged only one target on the campaign. Rather than representing a viable pass-catching threat, the 40-year-old tight end -- the second-oldest player in the NFL -- brings most of his value as a positive locker-room presence and as a reliable blocker at this stage of his career.

Lewis is meeting with Chicago on Monday with the intention of re-signing for the 2024 season, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

Lewis appears set for a second campaign in Chicago after playing in all 17 regular-season contests last season. He's regarded as one of the league's top blocking tight ends and sprinkled in some contributions on offense last year, catching four of five targets for 29 yards and a score. His Week 16 touchdown was notable in that it made him the oldest tight end in NFL history to record a receiving TD. Lewis turned 40 in May and will be embarking upon his 19th professional campaign. He's unlikely to make a significant impact on offense or in fantasy, but he'll boost the Bears' offense with his blocking while serving as a positive locker room presence.

Lewis played 33 percent of the snaps but was not targeted in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Lewis, a 39-year old blocking specialist, ended the season catching four passes for 29 yards and a touchdown. With 14 NFL seasons on his resume, he's now an unrestricted free agent.

Lewis hauled in a one-yard touchdown in the Bears' 27-16 win over the Cardinals on Monday.

On the season, Lewis has posted four catches for 29 yards and a touchdown. The veteran tight end has seen significant snaps all season as a blocker, but it's likely that he continue to see limited targets.

Lewis caught a four-yard pass in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Lewis is primarily a blocking specialist. He's caught three of four targets for 28 yards on the season.

Lewis caught his lone target for eight yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Lewis is a blocking specialist who saw his first target of the season. It's unlikely he earns a regular role as a receiver unless his role changes.

Lewis is signing with the Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Eugene Frenette of jacksonville.com notes that the 39-year-old will set an NFL record for most seasons played by a tight end (18) if he ends up playing any regular-season games in 2023. That's presumably what will happen, though Lewis doesn't figure to catch many passes in an offense that already has Cole Kmet and former Packers teammate Robert Tonyan at tight end. Lewis caught 57 passes in 81 games with Green Bay over the past five seasons, mostly serving as a blocker in heavy formations.

Lewis was targeted seven times and caught six passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns over 17 appearances in the 2022 season.

The 38-year-old made little fantasy impact in his 17th season, but he did play at least 41 percent of offensive snaps for a fourth year in a row. Lewis remains a trusty blocker at the tight end position, and if he elects to continue playing, the free agent will likely land a roster spot in Green Bay or elsewhere.

Lewis caught both his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.

While he didn't see big volume, the veteran tight end made a huge impact for the Packers. Lewis' first catch gave Green Bay its first TD of the day on a one-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers, while his second reception went for 31 yards and set the team up in the red zone for an eventual AJ Dillon one-yard scoring plunge. Lewis has two touchdowns on the season -- the 10th time in his 17-year career he's scored multiple TDs -- but this was the first time in 2022 he's seen more than one target in a game.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for 14 yards in Monday's 24-12 victory over the Rams.

Lewis played at least 41 percent of the snaps for a second straight game and caught his first pass since Week 10. He has a plus matchup in Week 16 against the Dolphins, but with just four receptions and 34 yards on the season, there is little reason to believe he will do enough to make a fantasy impact.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Giants.

The reception was the first Lewis recorded in 2022, and the touchdown was his first since Week 12 of the 2020 season. Lewis led Packers tight ends in snaps in Week 5, but with blocking being his primary purpose on the field, his fantasy appeal remains limited.

Lewis doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis didn't practice Thursday and was limited Wednesday and Friday, but the veteran tight end will still be available for Week 4. The 2006 first-round pick has yet to be targeted this season despite playing over 35 percent of the team's offensive snaps in each of the first three games.

Lewis (groin) is active Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Lewis logged limited practices Wednesday and Friday with a DNP on Thursday. The veteran tight end has yet to be targeted this season despite playing 38 and 47 percent of the offensive snaps in the first two weeks respectively.

Lewis was not targeted in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Lewis -- along with Robert Tonyan -- was one of two Packers tight ends to start the opener, and he wound up leading all Packers tight ends with 23 snaps. However, he was limited to blocking duties only and did not see a pass in his direction. The 38-year-old will continue seeing snaps, but don't expect him to contribute to your fantasy team.

Lewis was targeted 28 times and caught 23 passes for 214 yards over 17 appearances in the 2021 season.

Lewis has not been a fantasy factor for awhile, but he filled a steady role for the Packers in 2021, appearing in every game and serving as the team's top blocking tight end. The 16-year veteran signed a two-year contract with the Packers last month, so he figures to return to Green Bay for another go-around.

Lewis was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and will be eligible to play Sunday against the Vikings.

The veteran tight end has played at least 24 offensive snaps in seven of the last eight games and has accumulated 14 receptions for 106 yards during that stretch, so his absence would have been noteworthy. Instead, expect Lewis to reprise his role as a blocker extraordinaire with Josiah Deguara acting as the primary tight end.

Lewis has landed on the Packers' reserve/COVID-19 list,

Lewis apparently tested positive for the virus according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. In order for him to return to the Packers' Week 17 matchup with the Vikings he will need to clear the NFL's health and safety protocols. If he is unable to return, Tyler Davis and Dominique Dafney would be next in line at tight end behind Josiah Deguara.

Lewis was targeted three times and caught two passes for two yards in the Packers' 24-22 victory over the Browns in Week 16.

After racking up at least 40 yards in back-to-back outings Lewis made only a blip in the box score in Week 16. Part of that may have been due to reduced opportunities, as his snap-count percentage declined from 50 to 41 percent. Lewis will have a chance to find the end zone in Week 17 against a Vikings team that allowed opposing tight ends to tally five touchdowns over its last six games, but with him taking a back seat to Josiah Deguara in Week 16 after splitting the work with him in the six games prior to that, his chances of helping those still alive in their fantasy leagues are slim.

Lewis was targeted three times and caught three passes for 40 yards in Sunday's 31-30 victory over the Ravens.

Lewis set season highs with four catches and 51 yards in Week 14, and he followed that up with his second-best day of the campaign from both a reception and yardage standpoint. He will be worth a look in Week 16 against a Browns team that has had issues with opposing tight ends of late, but fantasy players will probably want to turn their eyes elsewhere, as Lewis trailed fellow tight end Josiah Deguara in snaps for the second week in a row and still retains a fairly-low floor.

Lewis was targeted four times and caught four passes for 51 yards in Sunday's 45-30 victory over the Bears.

Both the reception and yardage totals were season highs for Lewis, who played 55 percent of the snaps Sunday after being on the field for fewer than 40 percent of the plays the Packers ran over the two weeks leading up to their Week 13 bye. While Lewis had his best game of the season, he still split the tight end duties with teammate Josiah Deguara, so his fantasy value has not been altered significantly. He will have the matchup in his favor in both Weeks 15 and 16, but considering he racked up a total of 13 yards over the four games prior to Sunday's, he remains on the fringes in fantasy circles.

Lewis was not targeted in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Vikings.

Lewis led Packers tight ends in snaps in the two first two games the team played after losing Robert Tonyan to a season-ending knee injury in Week 8, but he finished second in that department Sunday, spending 17 plays on the field compared to Josiah Deguara's 27. Lewis will continue filling a regular role thanks to his blocking skills, but don't be surprised if he plays second fiddle to Deguara moving forward.

Lewis was targeted twice and caught two passes for 10 yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.

Lewis was on the field for more than half the plays the Packers ran in Week 10, but even with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers returning, he was limited mainly to blocking duties like he usually is. Chances are Rodgers will at least try to find Lewis in the end zone at some point, as several times over the past two seasons the veteran tight end was rewarded for his thankless work. However, don't expect that to happen in Week 11, as the Packers will face a Vikings team that has not allowed opposing tight ends to find the end zone even once all season.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for negative-one yard in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Chiefs.

Lewis led Packers tight ends in snaps against Kansas City, but he spent most of the day providing added protection for Jordan Love, who was blitzed heavily in his first pro start. Lewis figures to continue spending most of his time blocking, but with top pass-catching tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) out for the season, Lewis could see a few more passes his direction once starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back at the helm.

Lewis is in line for more work following Robert Tonyan's diagnosis of a torn ACL, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers will take a "by-committee" approach at tight end following the loss of Tonyan for the rest of the season. Lewis may not be in line for a jump in targets, but his share of the offensive snaps could bump up from the 40-50 percent that he's earned in most of the team's eight games so far. Along with Lewis, Josiah Deguara, Dominique Dafney and Tyler Davis will be the TE considerations for Green Bay.

Lewis was targeted three times and caught three passes for 31 yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.

Lewis caught just two total passes over the first four weeks of the season, but he has now recorded multiple receptions in three straight contests. He may be more on the fantasy radar than he was early on, but he still has just nine receptions on the season and continues playing second fiddle behind starting tight end Robert Tonyan.

Lewis was targeted once and caught one pass for 19 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

Lewis was credited with a start Sunday, but he wound up spending only 15 plays on the field and drawing no more than the lone target. He caught just 10 passes last season and 28 over the last three, so it's unlikely he will make any sort of regular impact in fantasy leagues.

Lewis signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Lewis will return for a 16th year in the NFL, and a fourth straight season in Green Bay. The veteran tight end's deal reportedly includes $4 million guaranteed, an indication of the value he provides to the Packers as a leader and reliable depth option and. Though Lewis occasionally sees usage in the red zone (three touchdowns in 2020), his targets come too inconsistently to provide real fantasy value.

Lewis caught 10 passes for 107 yards and three touchdowns over 15 games in 2020.

The veteran tight end was rewarded for his blocking-oriented role with three trips to the end zone, but he spent most of the campaign keeping defenders off his quarterback and fellow skill players. Lewis will turn 37 in May, but according to Andy Herman of the Pack-A-Day Podcast, he intends to keep playing and wants to do so for the Packers, so he could reprise a similar role for the team in 2021.

Lewis (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff game against the Buccaneers, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis had his practice reps customarily managed this week, but his availability was never truly in question. He's set to handle his usual blocking role behind top tight end Robert Tonyan.

Lewis (knee) did not practice Thursday, Olivia Reiner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis continues to have his practice reps capped due to a knee injury that's lingered all season. The veteran tight end still looks to be on track for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers, and Friday's final injury report of the week will reveal how the Packers have evaluated his status.

Lewis (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Lewis having his practice reps capped has been a regular event all season, so there's no reason to worry that his injury represents any larger an obstacle than usual as Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Buccaneers approaches. He's only been targeted once in the last four games.

Lewis (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's playoff matchup against the Rams, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lewis saw his practice reps capped due to a lingering knee injury this week, but it never appeared as though his availability for Saturday's game was in much real danger. He stands to handle his usual role behind top tight end Robert Tonyan versus Los Angeles.

Lewis (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis was limited in Tuesday's practice, so it's somewhat concerning to see his activity level drop. Of course, the veteran tight end has regularly had a cap on his reps all season. He'll have one more chance to practice before the Packers have to tag him with an injury designation for Saturday's divisional contest against the Rams.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

Lewis has consistently been limited in practice this year, so this isn't cause for concern. The 36-year-old tight end is expected to suit up in Saturday's playoff matchup against the Rams, and he'll mainly work on a blocking role.

Lewis hauled in his lone target and tallied one reception for nine yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Lewis played the second-most snaps among Packers tight ends for the ninth game in a row, and although he caught his first pass since Week 14, he was limited mainly to blocking duty like he usually is. Lewis found the end zone three times during the regular season, but he caught just 10 passes despite playing in all but one game.

Lewis (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Lewis went through his normal routine of load management through the week, including an absence from Thursday's practice. He'll nevertheless be ready to go for Sunday's divisional tilt. The veteran tight end rarely contributes in the pass-catching department, but he did snag a touchdown pass in the Week 12 matchup against the Bears.

Lewis (knee) did not participate during the Packers' practice session Thursday.

The veteran tight end's injury outlook for Week 17 is not looking especially encouraging at the moment, as Lewis downgraded from limited participation Wednesday. The 36-year-old's status traveled along a direct upward trajectory last week, as he moved from a DNP tag Wednesday to full participation Friday before suiting up Sunday night against Tennessee. Despite having experienced frequently curtailed practice involvement throughout the year, Lewis has missed just one game as Green Bay heads into its regular-season finale at Chicago.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

Lewis has been nursing this knee issue for a while, so it is unsurprising to see him pop up on the injury report once again. He fought through the issue to play last week, but failed to record a reception in the Packers' victory over the Titans. His status will need to be monitored as the week progresses.

Lewis (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The veteran tight end began the week not practicing but was able to put in a full practice Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Lewis should continue to see occasional targets while primarily serving as a blocker for Green Bay.

Lewis (knee) was limited during the Packers' practice session Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The veteran tight end has been coping with a knee issue since early October, but he's still proven capable of getting on the field for 13 of Green Bay's 14 games this season. Barring a setback to his status Friday, Lewis is trending toward a Week 16 activation. He'll be afforded slightly more time to get his body right, with the Packers not kicking off against the Titans until Sunday Night Football.

Lewis (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Lewis has had his practice reps capped due to a knee issue for much of the season, but he's suited up for each of the Packers' games since Week 4. As long as he can resume practicing in at least a limited fashion, the veteran tight end should be in good shape for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Lewis (knee) is expected to suit up Week 15 against Carolina after logging a limited practice session Thursday, Wez Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

The veteran tight end has remained limited throughout the practice week, but he's seemingly in the clear for Saturday night's matchup after being removed from the injury report Thursday. Despite his knee having been a noted issue throughout the campaign, Lewis has just one missed game on the 2020 campaign, with nine receptions, 98 yards and three touchdowns to his ledger.

Lewis (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.

The 36-year-old typically is limited or absent altogether during practices early in the week. He should be fine for Saturday's game against the Panthers, operating in a blocking role with occasional pass-catching upside.

Lewis (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lewis went through his typical routine of limited practice reps, and the veteran is good to go for the divisional bout. The 36-year-old contributes most as a blocker, but he could possibly see more work in the passing game with Jace Sternberger (concussion) ruled out.

Lewis was a non-participant during Thursday's practice due to a knee injury.

It's not great news for the veteran, as he was listed as a limited participant just a day earlier. Lewis appears in jepoardy of missing Sunday's game against Detroit, as he'll likely need to log some practice time Friday in order to suit up. With both Lewis and Jace Sternberger (concussion) missing practice Thursday, Robert Tonyan is currently the only healthy tight end on the roster.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis begins the week again with his limited practice regimen, as has been the case for much of the season. Expect Lewis to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, but he'll likely need to continue to stay on the practice field. The veteran continues to be the third option at tight end this season, compiling eight catches for 92 yards and three touchdowns this season.

Lewis had one reception for 36 yards in Sunday's victory over the Eagles.

The reception was Lewis' longest since joining the Packers in 2018, but it was also the only pass he saw in his direction. Lewis has been a sneaky red-zone option for the Packers, but he remains limited mainly to blocking duty.

Lewis (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

The 36-year-old tight end went through his typical practice regimen, handling limited reps before being cleared going into the weekend. Though 10 games this season, Lewis has posted seven receptions for 56 yards and three touchdowns.

Lewis (knee) was a non-participant during the Packers' practice session Thursday.

The veteran tight end is trending in the wrong direction for Week 13, as he was, at least, able to contribute a limited session in practice the day prior. Lewis has been dealing with recurring knee issues since early October, but he's only been forced to sit out one game all season. If Lewis were unavailable to face the Eagles on Sunday afternoon, Green Bay may need to add reinforcements at the position, as Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger would stand as the team's only two available options.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis is following his usual practice regimen, as the veteran tight end is managing his reps to start the week. It's likely that Lewis will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, but expect his practice availability throughout the week to paint a clearer picture. Despite racking up his third touchdown of the season last week, he's only logged a 7-56-3 stat line though nine games to this point of the season.

Lewis was targeted four times and caught two passes for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

The four targets were a season high for Lewis, and although he hauled in just two of them, he did catch multiple passes for the first time this season and found paydirt for the third time. He's not seeing enough passes in his direction to help fantasy players, but Aaron Rodgers has looked his way more often in the red zone, and don't be surprised if he continues trying to reward the veteran blocking specialist when he gets the opportunity.

Lewis (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lewis followed his typical regimen of limited reps during the practice week, but he's ready to go for Week 12. The 36-year-old predominantly operates in a run-blocking role, as he's caught just five passes this year for 40 yards and two scores.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis is familiar with the injury report, as his practice reps are typically limited early in the week. The veteran tight end should be fine for Week 12 barring a setback, and he'll resume his typical blocking role.

Lewis caught one pass for eight yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

Lewis did not practice much last week, but that has been the case for much of the season, and he was still able to play Sunday for the ninth time in 10 opportunities. Lewis has not caught more than one pass in any game this season, and the Packers will continue relying on him mainly for his blocking skills.

Lewis (knee) did not participate during the Packers' practice session Thursday.

The veteran tight end has been dealing with knee issues since early October, though he was only forced to sit out Week 4. Practice reps have been managed for Lewis over the past month and a half, but he has registered five consecutive starts nevertheless. His status is seemingly trending in the wrong direction for a Week 11 status against the Colts, however. If Lewis is ultimately unable to play, Jace Sternberger would be the only eligible tight end on the active roster besides Robert Tonyan (ankle).

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis is following his usual practice regimen, as the veteran tight end is managing his reps to start the week. There's no concern about his ability to play this week against the Colts, and fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned with his healthy anyway, as Lewis has generated a 4-32-2 line through eight games.

Lewis (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Lewis put forth a 'LP/DNP/FP' practice slate this week, which puts him on track to suit up Sunday. The veteran tight end played for the Jaguars from 2010-17, and with Robert Tonyan (ankle) considered questionable and John Lovett (knee) just having been lost for the year due to a torn ACL, it's possible that he could see a slight uptick in opportunities against his former squad.

Lewis (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Lewis has continuously popped up on the injury report despite playing in the past four games, but this news is cause for concern for his chances to play Sunday. The veteran hauled in a touchdown pass in last week's win over the 49ers, but he's been relegated to more of a blocking role throughout the season. The tight end depth chart is a bit banged up at the moment, with Lewis, Robert Tonyan (ankle) and John Lovett (knee) all dealing with injuries.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis has been a recurring member of the Packers' injury report due to this knee injury, but he's managed to play in the last four games. The veteran tight end typically sticks to a blocking role, but he has scored twice on just four receptions this year.

Lewis was targeted once and scored a one-yard touchdown in Thursday's victory over the 49ers.

Lewis was limited mainly to blocking duty like he regularly is, but he was rewarded for his efforts with a goal-line target, which he turned into his second touchdown of the season. Lewis continues to run behind Robert Tonyan and has totaled just nine receptions and 32 yards over seven games, so he continues to reside on the fringe of fantasy relevance.

Lewis (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Thursday's game against San Francisco.

Lewis has seen his practice reps managed by the team the past two weeks but had ultimately suited up, so this news isn't surprising. Now healthy, the veteran tight end is is expected to share depth reps with Jace Sternberger behind starter Robert Tonyan.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lewis has been on the injury report with this knee issue before each of the last three games, but he's avoided missing time. His upgrade to limited participation Tuesday signals that he'll be ready to go Thursday against the 49ers. Lewis' role has been negligible this year, however, as he's recorded just three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown through six contests.

Lewis (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.

The veteran played his usual block-heavy role during Sunday's loss to the Vikings and didn't receive a target, though he uncharacteristically was charged with a pair of holding penalties. Lewis has been bothered by the knee issue for much of the season but so far has only missed the Week 4 matchup with Atlanta.

Lewis (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis sandwiched Thursday's missed practice between limited sessions Wednesday and Friday, but he's apparently feeling healthy enough to suit up Sunday. The veteran tight end is poised to share reps with Jace Sternberger behind Robert Tonyan, who has emerged as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' favorite target at the position.

Lewis (knee) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.

Lewis took a step back in the Packers' second practice of the week, as he had been a limited participant at Wednesday's session. The Packers haven't indicated that Lewis experienced a setback, making it possible that his absence Thursday may have amounted to pre-planned maintenance. In any case, the Packers will decide whether the blocking specialist will carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings following Friday's practice.

Lewis (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

The veteran tight end never put in a full practice session this week due to the knee issue, but it won't impact his availability for Sunday's contest. Lewis has two receptions for 22 yards and is mostly serving as a blocking tight end this season.

Lewis (knee) did not participate during Thursday's practice session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Given that the 36-year-old sat out Green Bay's Week 4 win over Atlanta with the same injury, it's discouraging for his Week 6 status that he's downgraded from limited practice participation to non-participation between Wednesday and Thursday. Lewis still has a chance to suit up for the Packers' Week 6 showdown with Tampa Bay if he can show progress to team trainers, but he's trending in the wrong direction at the moment.

Lewis (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Lewis usually takes a veteran rest day on Wednesdays when he's healthy, but it's encouraging that he's practicing in some capacity for the first time since Week 3. If he's able to play Sunday versus the Buccaneers, Lewis likely won't have a major role considering how well Robert Tonyan performed in a Week 4 win over the Falcons.

Lewis (knee) is inactive for the team's Week 4 matchup against the Falcons.

Lewis was listed as doubtful heading into the matchup after failing to practice in any capacity throughout the season. He has served in a rotation of three tight ends for the Packers, meaning some opportunity could be opened for Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger.

Lewis (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Falcons.

The lack of pass-catching depth for the Packers continues to rear its ugly head as Allen Lazard's undefined absence following core muscle surgery is only worsened by Lewis' doubtful designation. Robert Tonyan and Jace Sternberger will continue to operate as the two main TEs for the Packers, but the wide receiver corps is dangerously thin behind Davante Adams (hamstring) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling which would have likely allowed for the veteran to see a few more snaps if he were able to play.

Lewis (knee) was absent from practice Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Lewis didn't participate in Thursday's practice, either, as he deals with an unspecified knee issue. His absence wouldn't be a major blow to the Packers' plans, as he's caught just two passes all year, though one of those passes came in the end zone.

Lewis (knee) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice session.

The 36-year-old tight end collected his first TD catch of the season while playing 32 percent of the offensive snaps during Sunday night's win against the Saints, and there was no report shared during the game that would indicate an injury to Lewis. He's popped up on the injury report for Green Bay's first practice of the week, as the team prepares for a Monday night matchup against a Falcons defense that has so far this season surrendered the third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends.

Lewis was targeted twice and finished with one reception for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Saints.

Lewis found himself in the right place at the right time when Aaron Rodgers scrambled out of the pocket in the third quarter, and he was able to find paydirt for the first time this season. Lewis has started all three games the Packers have played this season, but he has been targeted only three times and was on the field for just 20 of the 62 plays Green Bay ran Sunday. Robert Tonyan is the tight end to target if you're looking to scoop up a Packers tight end.

Lewis had one reception for four yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

Lewis started for the second time in as many weeks, and although he made more of an impact than he did in Week 1 he still barely registered in the box score. Lewis has played 43 percent of the snaps through two weeks and should continue filling a regular role, but with just one target thus far the veteran is not active enough in the passing game to draw interest from fantasy players.

Lewis was credited with a start in Sunday's victory over the Vikings but was not targeted in the game.

Lewis sits atop his position on the Packers' depth chart, but he finished second to Robert Tonyan in snaps played and was limited to blocking duty in the season opener. The veteran should continue drawing starts, but will presumably remain a complementary player in the offense.

Lewis is listed as the starting tight end on the unofficial depth chart released by the Packers on Monday night.

The Packers have four tight ends who could see the field, but the veteran Lewis gets the honor of opening the 2020 campaign atop the depth chart. Lewis was credited with 11 starts a year ago but caught only 15 passes, so don't assume his standing means he will play a fantasy-friendly role. He does figure to see plenty of snaps, though, given his run-blocking prowess.

Lewis signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Lewis was on the open market for a few hours, but he's decided to stick with the Packers for a third straight year. The 35-year-old tight end finished with 15 receptions for 156 yards and a touchdown in 2019. With Jimmy Graham gone for Chicago, Lewis is the placeholder for the No. 1 tight end role for the time being. He'll likely face competition from Jace Sternberger and Robert Tonyan throughout the offseason program and training camp, and the Packers will likely address the need with another free-agent pickup or draft acquisition.

Lewis, who caught 15 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season games in 2019, relayed that he wants to continue playing and would likely to stick in Green Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lewis hauled in two passes for 14 yards in the NFC championship loss to the 49ers as well. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent in March, and he'll turn 36 years old in May. The veteran tight end said he felt like he found his groove in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense. While Lewis won't have a big pass-catching role at this age, the Packers could benefit from re-signing him if they decide to cut Jimmy Graham, which would save nearly $9 million against the cap.

Lewis (heel) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Although Lewis was a limited participant in practice all week, his injury won't keep him out of Monday's contest. With Robert Tonyan (hip) ruled out, Jimmy Graham and Lewis are the Packers' only two healthy tight ends.

Lewis was limited in Thursday's practice due to a heel injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

It's positive news that Lewis wasn't held out of Thursday's session entirely, though the severity of his heel issue remains undisclosed. With Robert Tonyan (hip) listed as a non-participant to start the week, the Packers are currently operating with only one fully healthy tight end in the form of Jimmy Graham.
