The New Orleans Saints officially released WR Tommylee Lewis from injured reserve with an injury settlement on Sunday.
This comes just a day after the Saints placed Lewis on injured reserve.
Lewis, 28, wound up signing on with the Saints as an undrafted free agent out of Northern Illinois back in 2016. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.62 million contract, but the Saints declined to tender him an offer as a restricted free agent.
From there, Lewis agreed to a contract with the Lions, but was later placed on the PUP list and waived. He returned to the Saints on a futures contract in January of last year.
The Panthers signed Lewis to a contract a few months later before eventually moving on. He returned to the Saints’ practice squad soon after. New Orleans waived him back in November and he was on and off the team’s active roster.
In 2020, Lewis appeared in five games and caught one pass for five years receiving.
