Jamal Lewis of the Cleveland Browns appears to be forced into retirement
30-year old RB Jamal Lewis was looking forward to retiring at the end of the season and that will likely be sped up as he is likely to be placed on I.R. ending his season due to a serious concussion. He had a MRI that showed abnormalities in his brain and there is no reason on God’s Green Earth to mess with that. Lewis played in 9 games for the Browns this season carrying the ball 143 times for 500 yards (3.5 ypc) with 0 TD runs. He also caught 8 passes for 88 yards (11.0 avg) this season for the Browns. Lewis played in 40 games in his three years with the Browns and he carried the ball 720 times for 2,806 yards (4.0 ypc) with 13 TD runs. Lewis also caught 61 passes for 514 yards (8.4 avg) with 2 TD grabs with Cleveland.
Lewis played in 131 games in his NFL career and he carried the ball 2,542 times for 10,607 yards (4.2 ypc) with 58 TD runs. He also caught 221 passes for 1,879 yards (8.5 avg) with 4 TD grabs in his career. Lewis ends his career with the 21st most rushing yards in NFL history and his 58 TD runs tied for 41st with Mike Alstott. It’s just too bad that Lewis didn’t get to end his career on his own terms.
