Former Arroyo Grande High star Mark Lewis re-signed with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday and will again join their practice squad, the Palm Beach Post reported Wednesday.
Lewis, who went on to star as a guard at the University of Oregon, initially signed with Miami as an undrafted free agent following the NFL Draft in April.
After being one of Miami’s final cuts in training camp, Lewis then was picked up by the Seattle Seahawks until Seattle let go of him three weeks ago. Miami’s offensive line has recently been riddled with injuries.
The New England Patriots released defensive lineman Damione Lewis and offensive lineman Eric Ghiaciuc on Friday, getting an early start on their "cut-down day" maneuvers.
Lewis, a nine-year NFL veteran and former first-round draft choice of the St. Louis Rams, was signed by the Patriots on April 10. Lewis' roster spot was believed to be more secure after veteran end Ty Warren was lost for the year due to a hip injury last month, but Lewis ultimately proved surplus to needs.
Lewis, formerly with the Rams (2001-05) and Panthers (2006-09), has 22.5 sacks in nine seasons since being taken 12th overall out of Miami-Florida in 2001.
Former Arroyo Grande football lineman Mark Lewis returns to teach new crop of players
With the yellow metal upright leaning on its side in the south end zone at Doug Hitchen Stadium on Saturday, it seemed as though something big must have rattled the football field.
There were, in fact, some beastly, larger-than-life figures stomping around, but that turned out just to be coincidence.
Gearing up for his upcoming training camp with the St. Louis Rams, former Arroyo Grande High and Oregon standout Mark Lewis was back in town.
Hurricanes athletic director Kirby Hocutt engaged in talks with New York Yankees officials Tuesday and Wednesday about the possibility of Miami playing in the team's new ballpark during the 2013 season, and emerged believing that an agreement could be struck.
"I feel confident to say the Miami Hurricanes are going to have a presence in New York City," Hocutt told The Associated Press.
