The strained calf that sidelined Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis for the first three games seems to have healed enough for him to play Week 4 against the Colts, according to the Florida Times-Union.
"It's much better," coach Gus Bradley said. "He continues to do well. We took an MRI again and it just shows scar tissue now, so we're going to continue the return-to-play protocol and amp that up a little bit more on him and see how he's doing."
But the situation he's entering isn't any better than it's been the last two years. Once again, the Jaguars find themselves on the quarterback carousel, going back to Blaine Gabbert after suffering through Chad Henne the last two weeks. In 10 games with Gabbert under center last season, Lewis averaged 2.9 catches for 27.4 yards with four touchdowns.
The Colts have actually given up the 11th-most Fantasy points to tight ends this season, but coming off a dominant defensive performance at San Francisco last week, they could be a challenge for the Jaguars offense. Unless you're desperate for a second tight end, you should avoid Lewis this week.
