During the first episode of the hit HBO series “Hard Knocks”, it was revealed that Terrell Lewis had gone on the reserve/COVID-19 list because he had contracted the coronavirus.
It was unfortunate news for the former Alabama outside linebacker, but there’s good news for Lewis — and the Los Angeles Rams, who drafted him in the third-round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
According to the official Twitter for the Rams, Lewis was activated from the reserve list on Friday morning as the team continues to work towards its opening game of the season against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 13.

• Signed DB Jake Gervase
• Activated LB Terrell Lewis from reserve

It’s good to see Lewis be able to get back on the field so quickly. After dealing with multiple injuries throughout his career at Alabama, the 6-foot-5, 262-pound edge player needs every rep possible if he wants to make an impact during Year 1.
There is only one other player on the Rams roster heading into 2020, and that’s former defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson. Unfortunately, Robinson is currently listed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. He’s currently out indefinitely.
