I just can't see it happening.

I suspected the club would come up with the ol' "hamstring tightness" (or "hamstring awareness") line.

I don't know why they do it. A hammy means weeks.
They didn’t apply any ice which suggests it may have been a tight hammy. I suspect it was just that and they didn’t want to risk him given his history. When he came off he was being massaged and assessed for a while before he was subbed. Lewis would have been subbed straight out if he done a proper hammy.
that said - given his history an extra week might not hurt
 
Sounds like Jmac is working back? maybe plays the Bombers or Crows? or too hopeful
Odd they gave no indication of time. Think it might be a week to week prognosis seeing how he feels with weekly load increases.

To think his leg was completely immobile for two weeks, he'd need atleast a couple of weeks of rehab followed by back to normal heavy load training for another few weeks. I doubt we see him before finals.
