He started 12 games before being placed on injured reserve on December 28, 2019.[6]

On March 21, 2020, Lewis signed a three-year, $18.6 million contract extension with the Jets.[7] He started nine games at left guard before being placed on the reserve/non-football injury list on December 4, 2020.[8] He was designated to return and began practicing with the team again on December 30, but the team did not activate him before the end of the season.[9]
