Lewis, 29, played 24 games for the Jets in 2019 and 2020 (21 starts). Dealt with an off-the-field issue last season. Took a pay cut this offseason and lost job to Alijah Vera-Tucker. Last practice was Aug. 5, when he walked off with head injury. Left team after that.

I wish him well but tis is not good for the team, wasn't he slated to be our starter RG. Guess Moses can slide to that spot now and Fant will start at RT.

that is Greg Van Roten's spot, after posting a 78.4 grade in the first preseason game doesn't look like he is going to give the job away...
