Michael

Lewis

Lewis had his knee scoped in June after professing he felt “great.” Donte Stallworth missed his third practice with a strained groin.

Lewis tore his MCL and PCL in Week Two last year. The ex-beer man has been a star on the Saints’ return unit.

''It didn’t look good,’' coach Jim Haslett said.

This could be the end to the storybook career of ''The Beer Man.’'

Coach Jim Haslett indicated that the injury looked serious.

“Beer Man” will return punts for San Francisco. The team cut WR Brandon Williams, who had failed to impress in the role.

The “Beer Man” had a longer run than anyone could have imagined. After serious knee injuries the last two years, he surprised many just by playing last season. At 36, his career is probably over.

He may start for the Niners, but Jackson should not be in your fantasy starting lineup at this point. Returner Michael Lewis was excused from practice to deal with a family emergency in Louisiana. His status for Sunday is unknown. Arnaz Battle and Nate Clements would split return duties in his place.
