Running back Dion Lewis will be sidelined for another 8-10 weeks after he endures a second surgery on his left knee, according to a source.

Lewis underwent surgery to fix a torn ACL back in November.
Further complicating matters, the Bucs are battling injuries on the offensive line to guards J.R. Sweezy and Al Marpet.
The third game of the preseason is viewed as somewhat of a dry run for National Football League starters.
Brady is eligible to participate in all preseason games and practices, but can’t have contact with the team during his suspension. Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t one of those people. Getting extended playing time in the third preseason game is the best chance for starters to regain their rapport heading into the season.
Tom Brady shouldn’t have any lingering effects from a lacerated thumb suffered last week when the Patriots quarterback reportedly mishandled a pair of scissors.
The quarterback returned to practice Tuesday and said the injury was just a “silly accident”.
But as with most things concerning the Patriots, there’s probably an easy explanation and the team is guarding it like a state secret. It was just a silly accident.
The most likely candidate to step into Vollmers spot at right tackle is Marcus Cannon.
Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t know he was going to start ahead of last Thursday’s preseason win over the Bears. So I just have to feel those things out, and the game is really the only place to get it because it’s regular speed.
“Yeah, he hasn’t been available for a while.it’s unfortunate”, Belichick said. “I fit into that, but so do a lot of other guys”, Brady said.
“I haven’t put much thought into it”.
Im always gonna be myself, White said. The Patriots have been Brady’s team for some 15 years.
When asked if he’d like to play in tomorrow night’s preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, Brady said: “Absolutely”.
Yesterday, Brady explained he was trying to get something out of his shoe with some scissors, when they slipped.
