And while we're on running backs...

... it looks like Jamal Lewis is done. He suffered 'post-concussion symptoms' and has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. He'd previously announced that he was retiring at the end of the season. Lewis has several successful businesses outside of football, and has seemingly had his spirit crushed by playing for the hopeless Browns, and Eric 'The Secret' Mangini.

Lewis will retire with career totals of 10,607 rushing yards, 58 rushing touchdowns, 4.2 yards per carry, and 81 yards per game. He led the NFL in rushing in Baltimore's Super Bowl-winning year of 2003, with 2066 yards, the second-greatest single season ever. He also made the Pro Bowl and was an All-Pro selection that year.


Go go gadget stiff-arm!
I personally always liked Lewis, who ran hard even when he was on an arrestingly poor Browns team the last two years.
