Peter Finney, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports free-agent WR Michael L. Lewis (Saints) is planning to look for another team. "You bet, I wanted to end my career as a Saint.

Saints | M. Lewis still unable to practice |
Tue, 08 Aug 2006 15:56:34 -0700
The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints WR Michael Lewis (knee) is still unable to practice with the team. He sat out practice once again Tuesday, Aug. 8. He spends almost every practice riding a stationary exercise bike. Lewis said the problem is not his anterior cruciate ligament, which was surgically repaired after an injury that sidelined him for most of last season. A subsequent arthroscopic procedure in late June to remove loose particles from behind his knee cap is what has set back his rehabilitation, he said. "My ACL is straight. They went in just to clean up things behind it," Lewis said. "In minicamp I was running around, feeling good and everything, but when I got it checked right afterward they had some loose particles that needed to be cleaned." Tuesday morning, Lewis was off the bike, taking part in a special teams walkthrough. In recent days he has caught a few punts after practice. But he has yet to return a kick against the coverage team and still can't say for sure when he'll be ready. Head coach Sean Payton offered mildly encouraging words for Lewis when he recently referred to him as established. "He's had a great career as a returner. For him it's more how does he come off this injury," Payton said. If the Saints decide to let him go, another team might pick him up.

The Associated Press reports free agent WR/KR Michael Lewis (Saints) could not attend the opening of the New Orleans Saints' minicamp Friday, April 7, because he is not under contract.

"We're in the process of staying in touch with his agent and it's a process that's probably not unlike maybe a lot of teams at this time with a handful of players that just haven't been signed yet, so there's really nothing there."
