Jamal Lewis

8/20/2006

Lewis will sit out the next two weeks because of a nagging hip injury. The Baltimore Ravens running back has been bothered by a strained left hip flexor. He began training camp on the physically-unable-to-peform list after injuring himself running sprints in late July, but played the first two preseason games.

3/13/2006

Lewis is returning to Baltimore. He signed a three-year deal worth almost $25 million, but the second and third years are costly options of $10 million per season. Lewis will earn $6 million with a $1 million base for this season.

12/20/2005

The sore thumb that kept Lewis on the sidelines last weekend did not prevent him from starting Monday night's matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The Ravens' running back, who has been a disappointment overall this season, topped the century mark for the second time in three games, picking up 105 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries.

12/16/2005

After practicing with the Baltimore Ravens on Friday, Lewis was upgraded from questionable to probable on the team's injury report. The running back, who sat out last week because of a sore thumb that prevented him from being able to grip the ball firmly, plans to be available for Monday night's matchup with the Green Bay Packers.

12/12/2005

Lewis had planned to be in the Baltimore Ravens' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Denver Broncos, but an ailing thumb that prevented him from gripping the ball solidly resulted in him being held out of the contest. Reportedly, the veteran running back aggravated the problem late last week, and after testing it during pregame warmups, the team decided to give the nod to Chester Taylor instead.

11/28/2005

With Chester Taylor out with injury, Lewis handled the majority of the Ravens' rushing load in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran running back finished the game with 113 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, topping the century mark for the first time this season.

11/27/2005

Lewis should be a busy man on Sunday, when Baltimore Ravens play the Bengals in Cincinnati. The Ravens will be without Chester Taylor, turning most of the running duties over to Lewis.

11/21/2005

Lewis will remain as the Baltimore Ravens' starting tailback, but the team plans to give more carries to backup Chester Taylor going forward, according to head coach Brian Billick. The veteran running back has struggled this season, averaging career-lows of 50.8 yards per game and 3.0 yards per carry. He's found the end zone just once on the ground.

10/24/2005

Lewis averaged just 2.3 yards per carry in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bears, finishing the game with only 34 yards on 15 rushes. The Ravens' running back has yet to reach the century mark in a game this season, and he has found the end zone just once in six contests.

10/18/2005

Despite averaging a career-low 3.0 yards per carry through five games this season, Lewis is in no danger of losing his starting job, according to head coach Brian Billick. The veteran running back has been splitting time with Chester Taylor, but the Ravens plan to continue using Lewis more often going forward, even though Taylor has been more than holding his own.

9/19/2005

Facing a Titans defense looking to bounce back from a poor Week 1 performance, Lewis was held to just nine yards on 10 carries in Sunday's 25-10 loss to Tennessee. The running back's average of 0.9 yards per carry was the worst of his NFL career. He also added four catches for 32 yards.

9/18/2005

Lewis is active for Baltimore's Sunday contest at Tennessee. The running back broke a finger on his left hand last week in the Ravens' loss to Indianapolis, but he'll be ready to go on Sunday. A week ago he collected 48 yards on 16 carries.

9/12/2005

Tests have revealed that Lewis has a broken finger on his left hand, an injury suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens' running back, who is coming back from offseason ankle surgery, does not expect the new injury to force him to miss any time. He finished Sunday's game with 48 yards on 16 carries.

9/9/2005

According to Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick, Lewis will share touches with backup Chester Taylor in the team's first two games of the 2005 regular season. The veteran running back continues to recover from offseason surgery on his right ankle, and the team doesn't want to take any chances with him aggravating the problem. Billick said the two tailbacks time likely will be split evenly in Sunday night's opener against the Indianapolis Colts.

9/1/2005

Lewis is expected to be in the Baltimore Ravens' starting lineup for Thursday's preseason finale against the Washington Redskins, but his action will be limited, as the team does not want to risk him aggravating his surgically repaired right ankle. As a precautionary measure, the running back was a late scratch from the Ravens' lineup last week after broken up scar tissue in his ankle caused some discomfort. Chester Taylor will take over after Lewis calls it a night.

8/30/2005

Last week, the Ravens indicated Lewis was battling a bone spur in his left foot, an injury in addition to his recovery from offseason surgery on his right ankle. However, the new ailment is in the same foot he had repaired, but is believed to be only scar tissue breaking up. The running back hopes to make his preseason debut in Thursday's finale against the Washington Redskins, but he likely will be a game-time decision.

8/25/2005

In addition to recovering from offseason surgery on his right ankle, Lewis now is battling a bone spur in his left foot, and he has been ruled out of Friday's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. According to Ravens head coach Brian Billick, the new injury is not serious, and the team still expects the running back to be ready for the start of the regular season.

8/23/2005

The Baltimore Ravens have been bringing Lewis along slowly, as he's been nursing some lingering tenderness in his surgically repaired right ankle. However, the running back has seen more reps in practice recently, and he should be able to make his preseason debut in Friday's exhibition meeting with the New Orleans Saints, according to head coach Brian Billick.

8/9/2005

Lewis has reported to training camp with the Baltimore Ravens, and he is expected to work out in pads as early as Wednesday. The running back, who spent four months in a federal prison and two months in a halfway house, said he is in shape, but still has some minor tenderness in his surgically repaired right ankle. He plans to be at full strength for the start of the regular season.

8/6/2005

A Ravens team official has reportedly told ESPN that Jamal Lewis will be placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list when he reports to training camp on Monday.

7/27/2005

A more definitive timetable has been set for Lewis' return to the Ravens as his stay at a halfway house in Atlanta winds down. The franchise running back, who is nearly completed with his sentence for using a cell phone to try to set up a drug deal in 2000, will join the team's training camp on August 4, and will resume full workouts on August 8.

6/9/2005

The Federal Bureau of Prisons rejected Lewis' request to be moved from a halfway house in Atlanta to one in Maryland. The denial means that Lewis will miss the Ravens' minicamp next week, and he also will miss the opening of the team's training camp. The running back will not be able to join the club until the first week of August.
