DT Tyquan Lewis
Even before the Colts acquired defensive tackle DeForest Buckner in the trade with the 49ers, Lewis was on thin ice. The former second-round pick has done close to nothing since being drafted. He’s dealt with injuries and inconsistent play since arriving in Indy.
Now, Lewis will be fighting not only for a role on the interior defensive line, but also a roster spot. The Ohio State product is already down on the depth chart at the three-technique behind Buckner and Denico Autry. He’s in the battle for the fifth defensive tackle spot, but now has competition from sixth-round pick Robert Windsor.
While that might seem like nothing for a player drafted in the second round and one the Colts were extremely high on when picking him, his two seasons as a pro have shown little to no value in return. He’s played in 17 games since being drafted and hasn’t made a start since his rookie season.
Lewis will be on the roster bubble entering training camp and the preseason and will be one to keep an eye on as the 2020 season approaches.
