Free agent quarterback Thad Lewis has been medically cleared as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered last August, tweets Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, who suggests Lewis will generate interest on the open market.
Lewis, 32, signed a one-year deal to serve as a backup for the 49ers last year, but went down before he ever took the field during a regular season contest. A career reserve, Lewis has spent time with seven different NFL clubs since entering the league in 2010. He hasn’t seen action since the 2013 campaign, which was Lewis’ most productive season to date. That year, Lewis started five games for the Bills and completed 59.2% of his passes for 1,092 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions.
Now that he’s been medically authorized to play, Lewis joins a free agent quarterback market that also includes the likes of Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, Zach Mettenberger, Dan Orlovsky, Austin Davis, and others.
