The Colts will soon get some reinforcement on the defensive line. The team announced today that they\u2019ve activated defensive end Tyquan Lewis<\/a><\/strong> off the injured reserve. Lewis is still questionable for tomorrow\u2019s game against the Lions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Lewis dealt with a long list of injuries to begin the season, with the defensive end suffering wrist, calf, and elbow issues. He landed on injured reserve in early October and has been on the shelf for the past month-plus. He returned to practice earlier this week<\/a>, and the Colts didn\u2019t take long to add him to the active roster.<\/p>\n

The 2018 second-round pick has spent his entire career in Indy. He hasn\u2019t necessarily lived up to his draft billing, as Lewis has only started 20 of his 69 appearances. He\u2019s also spent much of his Colts tenure dealing with injuries, as the Ohio State product has missed 41 games in six-plus seasons with the team.<\/p>\n

Still, he\u2019s proven to be a useful rotational pass rusher. The defensive end has collected 15 career sacks, including a career-high four sacks (along with a career-high 13 QB hits) in 2023. That performance earned him a two-year extension from the Colts, and Lewis proceeded to start each of the team\u2019s first four games of the 2024 campaign. 2021 second-rounder Dayo Odeyingbo<\/a><\/strong> and 2024 first-rounder Laiatu Latu<\/strong><\/a> have both garnered more opportunities with Lewis out of the lineup. With 2021 first-round pick Kwity Paye<\/a><\/strong> also sticking around, it\u2019s uncertain if Lewis will continue to start once he\u2019s ready to take the field.<\/p>\n

The Colts made a handful of additional moves in anticipation of Week 12. The team announced that they\u2019ve waived defensive end Genard Avery<\/a><\/strong> and elevated guard Atonio Mafi<\/a><\/strong> from the practice squad.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
