The Facts: The Lions were awarded Lewis on waivers from Cleveland Tuesday. The Browns let him go last week.
Diehards Line:
Lewis, 25, made his first career regular-season NFL start in Cleveland’s 2012 finale, completing 22-of-32 passes for 204 yards with a touchdown and an interception. As PFT's Mike Wilkening notes, Detroit has a clear-cut top backup quarterback in Shaun Hill. However, Hill is coming off foot surgery, as the Detroit Free Press reported earlier in May. Lewis joins Kellen Moore and Alex Carder as competitors for the third spot on the Lions’ QB depth chart.
