METAIRIE, La. – New Orleans Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis was absent from Wednesday’s practice and is listed as having a hip/stomach issue instead of just a hip injury. It’s unclear if he suffered a new injury or has just continued to battle the same one that required surgery in September.
It was believed that Lewis might have been dealing with a sports hernia, which could affect both of those body parts. Regardless, he hasn’t been close to 100 percent yet while serving as a dime back over the past three games. Lewis played in only eight snaps during New Orleans’ 31-21 victory over the Atlanta Falcons last Thursday.
