Dion Lewis: Appears on track to play Thursday

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport indicates that Lewis (abdominal injury) is in line to play Thursday night against the Dolphins.

Analysis:

Per the report, Lewis sat out this past Sunday's game against the Jets "to get healthy," which supports the notion that the running back's Week 7 absence was largely precautionary. Official confirmation of Lewis' Week 8 availability will arrive as Thursday's 8:25 ET kickoff approaches, but at this stage, it appears as though the running back plans to give it a go.
