He's back: Saints host veteran WR Tommylee Lewis for tryout

The New Orleans Saints need help at wide receiver, but they’re still being complacent. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that the team hosted free agent wide receiver Tommylee Lewis on Thursday, who has washed out with them several times before. He recently tried out for the Minnesota Vikings with Dede Westbrook, who was signed instead.

Lewis, 28, finished the 2020 season on the Saints practice squad and was not re-signed after his contract expired. He amassed 19 yards from scrimmage in five games, adding to his career total of 257 receiving yards and 49 rushing yards in 39 games — all played with the Saints.
