Lewis, a 2020 third-round pick, has fallen behind other players at his position after starting the year as a consistent part of the line rotation in Los Angeles. He has six career sacks and 10 career quarterback hits. A claiming team would be on the hook for his 2023 unguaranteed salary from the final year of his rookie contract. 

Lewis, who is playing 40ish weekly snaps, was one of just two questionable players for Los Angeles. The real inactive news came earlier Monday, when it was announced Jalen Ramsey and Tyler Higbee were joining Darrell Henderson on the COVID-19 list. That makes for a severely-undermanned Rams team as they try to pull the road upset. Joining Lewis on the shelf are OL Brian Allen, QB Bryce Perkins, OLB Chris Garrett and OL Tremayne Anchrum. 

The 84th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Lewis spent time on the COVID-19 list this summer before being placed on the reserve/NFI list. Lewis needed a knee operation to address an infection. He'll make his debut this week against Washington. 

The 84th pick in this year's draft, Lewis has done very little practicing since entering the league. He spent time on the COVID-19 list and now needs an operation on his knee because the team feared he had an infection. Lewis tore his ACL in 2018 at Alabama. He will miss at least the first three games of this season.
