JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jourdan Lewis will undergo season-ending foot surgery, a person familiar with the injury told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the player nor the team has confirmed Lewis' status. Lewis injured his leg in last Sunday's 34-20 win over Denver. The NFL Network was the first to report Lewis' upcoming surgery.
He is the team's second starting cornerback lost this season, joining rookie Travis Hunter (knee).
Lewis, Hunter and Tyson Campbell opened the season as the team's top three defensemen. Now everyone's gone to Jacksonville's playoffs. In early October, the Jaguars swapped starting cornerbacks with Cleveland, sending Campbell north in place of Greg Newsome II.
Newsome, Montariq Brown and Jarrian Jones will have the workload to handle throughout the season, starting with Sunday's game in Indianapolis and into the postseason.
Lewis has appeared in 12 games this season after signing a three-year, $30 million contract as a free agent. He had 39 tackles, two interceptions and a fumble return against Jacksonville.
He spent the first eight years of his NFL career in Dallas.
The Jaguars (11-4) also expect to be without two starting offensive linemen — center Robert Hainsey (groin) and right guard Patrick Mekari (back) — against the Colts (8-7).
