Dennis Allen optimistic about Cam Lewis' recovery from injury

Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen expressed optimism regarding safety Cam Lewis, who sustained an injury during practice on Saturday. Allen stated he does not expect Lewis to be sidelined for an extended period, despite not providing a specific return timetable. Lewis, recently signed for depth, has stepped in at safety due to other injuries in the defensive backfield. With Lewis unavailable for Sunday’s practice, undrafted rookie Skyler Thomas will temporarily fill the role, alongside newly signed veteran Xavier Woods, who will also be integrated into the defense.
