The Broncos waived Lewis on Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
After being signed to the active roster Dec. 6 and playing 28 offensive snaps in the Week 14 win over the Raiders, the Broncos have opted to cut ties with the 41-year-old Lewis. The jettisoning of Lewis may be a signal Nate Adkins (knee) is close to making a return. Lewis will now go on waivers, and if he goes unclaimed, the 2006 first-round pick will once again be a free agent.
