New Orleans Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis isn't expected to be back in the lineup until at least October after undergoing hip surgery.

NFL Network first reported Lewis injured his hip. Without their No. 1 cornerback, the Saints will need more from free-agent acquisition Brandon Browner.

It also means CFL product Delvin Breaux could be a starter Week 1 in a secondary that has been pelted by injuries this summer.

Browner hurt his knee the first week of the preseason. Strong safety Kenny Vaccaro didn't play last week against the Texans because of injury and free safety Jairus Byrd, who missed the final 12 games of 2014, remains on the physically unable to perform list.
