Bears' Marcedes Lewis: No usage in passing game in Week 15
Marcedes Lewis went without a target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers while playing six of the Chicago Bears' 53 snaps on offense.Lewis has suited up in each of Chicago's first 13 games of the season, but he's played more than 20 snaps on offense on just one occasion and has logged only one target on the campaign. Rather than representing a viable pass-catching threat, the 40-year-old tight end -- the second-oldest player in the NFL -- brings most of his value as a positive locker-room presence and as a reliable blocker at this stage of his career.

Bears' Marcedes Lewis: Intends to re-sign with Bears
Marcedes Lewis is meeting with Chicago on Monday with the intention of re-signing for the 2024 season, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.Lewis appears set for a second campaign in Chicago after playing in all 17 regular-season contests last season. He's regarded as one of the league's top blocking tight ends and sprinkled in some contributions as a receiver in 2023, catching four of five targets for 29 yards and a score. His Week 16 touchdown was notable in that it made him the oldest tight end in NFL history to record a receiving score. Lewis turned 40 years old in May and will be embarking upon his 19th professional campaign in 2024. He's unlikely to make a significant impact on offense or in fantasy, but he'll boost the Chicago Bears offense with his blocking while serving as a positive locker room presence.

Bears' Marcedes Lewis: Joining Chicago
Marcedes Lewis is signing with the Chicago Bears, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Eugene Frenette of jacksonville.com notes that the 39-year-old will set an NFL record for most seasons played by a tight end (18) if he ends up playing any regular-season games in 2023. That's presumably what will happen, though Lewis doesn't figure to catch many passes in an offense that already has Cole Kmet and former Packers teammate Robert Tonyan at tight end. Lewis caught 57 passes in 81 games with Green Bay over the past five seasons, mostly serving as a blocker in heavy formations.

Packers' Marcedes Lewis: Finds end zone in win
Marcedes Lewis caught both his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.While he didn't see big volume, the veteran tight end made a huge impact for the Green Bay Packers. Lewis' first catch gave Green Bay its first TD of the day on a one-yard strike from Aaron Rodgers, while his second reception went for 31 yards and set the team up in the red zone for an eventual AJ Dillon one-yard scoring plunge. Lewis has two touchdowns on the season -- the 10th time in his 17-year career he's scored multiple TDs -- but this was the first time in 2022 he's seen more than one target in a game.
