Lewis has reportedly lost trust in the Niners organization and has asked for his release, according to the Sacramento Bee. The veteran safety did not attend practice Friday and isn't expected to travel with the team to Atlanta, according to the Bee.
Coach Mike Singletary said Lewis' reason for missing practice was personal. When asked if Lewis' absence was related to football, Singletary declined to elaborate.
On Wednesday, Singletary denied an NFL Network report that Lewis and veteran linebacker Takeo Spikes were on the verge of being benched, saying there would be no lineup changes this week.
