Bills' Cam Lewis: Sees increased snaps sans Johnson
Rotowire
Lewis finished Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals with 10 tackles (seven solo).
Lewis saw increased action at nickel corner after Taron Johnson left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a forearm injury. Lewis took advantage of the extra playing time, and he finished second on the Bills in both combined and solo tackles behind linebacker Terrel Bernard. Johnson has already been ruled out for Week 2 against the Dolphins on Thursday, and Lewis will likely serve as the Bills' nickel corner for that contest.
Lewis re-signed with the Bills on a two-year contract Monday.
Lewis will remain in Buffalo after a 2023 campaign that saw him play a career-high 134 snaps on defense and 319 special-teams snaps in 17 regular-season contests. The 26-year-old will likely maintain a limited role on defense in 2024, but he'll work to carve out a larger role there during the team's offseason programs.
Lewis (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
The cornerback carried a questionable tag into Sunday. Lewis was active last Sunday versus the Giants but did not see any defensive snaps. The fifth-year depth player has six tackles in six games this season.
Bills' Cam Lewis: Questionable for divisional matchup
Rotowire
Lewis is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at New England due to a shoulder issue, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Lewis is normally a depth piece on defense, not exceeding 14 percent of the defensive snaps in any game this season, but the Bills have been working with a thin secondary ever since Tre'Davious White was lost for the season with a torn Achilles, so every healthy body matters.

Bills' Cam Lewis: Day-to-day with stinger
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Lewis is day-to-day with a stinger, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Lewis did not play any defensive snaps Sunday versus the Giants, and that he's dealing with some pain might help to explain why. He'll get a few chances to show improvement over the week at practice before Buffalo's game at New England in Week 7.
Lewis (groin) played 16 total snaps in Saturday's preseason contest against the Steelers.
Lewis was dealing with the injury earlier in camp, which kept him out of the team's first preseason contest. However, the 26-year-old appears to be fully recovered, as he works to earn a spot on the Bills' 53-man roster.

Rotowire
Lewis (groin) is not suited up for Saturday's preseason matchup with the Colts, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Lewis has been sidelined since Wednesday's practice after suffering a groin injury. He is competing for a role in the Bills' secondary against a crowded room, so a return to action sooner than later will be beneficial for his chances.

Bills' Cam Lewis: Inks new deal with Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills re-signed Lewis to a one-year contract Monday.
Lewis is now slated to remain in Buffalo through at least the 2023 season following Monday's agreement. The 25-year-old has primarily operated as a depth piece within the Bills' secondary over the previous three campaigns, though he posted a career-high 21 tackles across 15 appearances last year.
Lewis (forearm/illness) was listed as a full participant on Friday's practice estimate and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.
Lewis missed both Wednesday's and Thursday's practice sessions as the result of an illness and forearm issue, but he's since been marked down as a full participant on Friday's practice estimate and expects to be made available for the Week 11 matchup versus Cleveland. With Jordan Poyer (elbow) currently at risk of missing his third consecutive game, Lewis might be looking at another busy afternoon as one of the Bills' starting safeties alongside Damar Hamlin.
Lewis missed practice Wednesday due to a forearm injury/illness.
Of course, Bills fans were feeling ill after Lewis failed to bat the ball down on a 4th-and-18 play that would have sealed Sunday's game against the Vikings, but to his credit he owned up to the error. We're not sure if either issue is serious for Lewis or if he just needs more of a maintenance day. Lewis was thrown into heavy action in Week 10 due to the Buffalo secondary being so banged up, and he posted a career-high nine tackles.
