Lewis has been placed on IR. But it may be the shorter version of IR, not the long version. IDK. But this isn't a huge surprise. Injuries were always the knock on him.
EDIT: Make that the NFI List. Six weeks until he can practice.

Lewis will be eligible to return after three games (assume the time on the NFI must have begun with discovery of a potential problem.) Also no infection was found. Lewis apparently just needs time to recover from the procedure, imo likely some form of minor surgery.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The Los Angeles Rams have placed rookie outside linebacker Terrell Lewis on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list. Lewis is eligible to return after three games.
Speaking with reporters prior to today's practice, Rams head coach Sean McVay said Lewis was placed on Reserve/Non-Football Injury list due to atrophy from a knee procedure Lewis underwent one and half weeks ago. The procedure was done because of infection concerns from a previous procedure. No infection was found, but the atrophy from the most recent procedure prompted the team to place Lewis on the list.
"Fortunately, we thought it could potentially be some worse stuff, (but) it came back ok," McVay said. "It's as positive as it could be given the circumstances."
