Carroll said the 25-year-old guard suffered a lateral ankle sprain but didn't specify on the severity or give a recovery timetable.
Damien Lewis Injury Update
Based on limited video, the Pro Football Docs were initially concerned that he suffered a right ankle dislocation and fractured fibula with ligament damage, an injury that would likely require season-ending surgery.
The injury mechanism was similar to that of Prescott and Commanders' center Chase Roullier, who each suffered ankle dislocations and fractures.
The third-year offensive lineman had his right leg rolled up on by Bears' tackler Angelo Blackson when he took down Deejay Dallas.
Multiple players immediately called for the medical team, and he has since been ruled out with a right ankle injury.
Lewis, a 2020 third-round pick from the 2019 national champion LSU team, has started 29 games for Seattle and recently shifted from right guard to left guard.
