Lewis had a huge bounceback season in 2024, with a career-best 79.0 PFF coverage grade in 871 snaps for the Cowboys. It’ll be interesting to see if the Jaguars leave him in the slot, where he has played most of the last two years in Dallas. Jacksonville’s primary slot corner last year was 2024 third-rounder Jarrian Jones, with Tyson Campbell and Montaric Brown outside. It’s possible Lewis shifts Jones into a competition with Brown outside.

Lewis is eligible to return whenever he’s ready to do so, as the veteran corner avoided starting the year on the PUP list. Lewis is expected to ramp up his workload in practice this week, but it’s still unclear whether or not he’ll suit up for Week 2 against the Jets.

Lewis missed the second half of the 2022 season after undergoing surgery to address a Lisfranc injury. Now healthy and added to the active roster, Lewis should regain his role as the starting nickel corner for the Cowboys.
