Tommylee Lewis

Lewis will likely be released with an injury settlement when healthy. With Lewis on IR, the Saints used the open roster spot to sign DB Jeff Heath.

Lewis is back with the Saints with Michael Thomas (ankle) sidelined and Deonte Harris facing a suspension. He'll compete with Marquez Callaway, Chris Hogan, and seventh-rounder Kawaan Baker for a role behind Thomas and Tre'Quan Smith.

Lewis spent time on the Saints roster this offseason. He joins ex-OC Joe Brady in Carolina. 27-year-old Lewis is a roster longshot.

Lewis is best remembered as the guy who was decked by Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman in last year's NFC Championship Game. Lewis moved on from New Orleans after the controversial no-call, signing with the Lions but then failing to earn a spot on the 53-man roster. He'll hope to win his way back into favor with the Saints, having made 34 appearances for the team between 2016 and 2018. Lewis can return kickoffs and punts, in addition to serving as a part-time deep threat or trick-play specialist on offense. He'll face an uphill battle to make the roster if return specialist Deonte Harris stays healthy.
