Browns RB Jamal Lewis Had Off Season Ankle Surgery

[Coachnorm]

Mike McLain, of TribToday.com, reports Cleveland Browns RB Jamal Lewis (ankle) played much of the 2008 season with an injured ankle but was able to play the entire season and had surgery during the offseason. When asked if his ankle hurt last season, Lewis said: "A whole lot. But at the same time I worked through it. The trainers were able to keep me rolling. I knew I had to get something done at the end of the season. It wasn't something that would take me out for the whole season."

Should be good to go?

He moves up a notch just for dedication.

still not sure he has much left.

In the NFL players like that are gold for their impact on others. For fantasy he will get his opportunity because I am not sold his back up is going to live up to his recent hype.

From being one of the preeminent backs a few years ago and doing well enough last season given this type of a handicap I think he is getting short shrifted in the rankings.

From Painful to Painfree. It does put last years performance in a new light. maybe a small bounce is in order.

I'm a sucker for punishment with this guy every friggin' year and I still don't know why.

Every draft like clockwork, the middle rounds come, I'm looking for a flex guy, check the available player list, see "Jamal Lewis, RB, CLE" and my finger goes numb.. then *click*.

It's because he can run like poetry in motion on his good days. When he's got laces tied right eyes open he can do amazing things. Memories of his 2003 season / 2066 ry with Baltimore die hard. Even with tall the disappointment of last year he still managed to pick up 1002 ry.

I have the same problem when it comes to JL... he killed me last year and I barely scraped by with a "W" thanks to him. If it weren't the Turner / White / Brees trio in my back pocket I'd have been screwed.

Prime.

Jamal is past it and there is no coming back. He can only move further away from it.

I believe Coach has misstated the topic of this thread. Should it not read:

Browns RB Jamal Lewis Had Off Season Ankle Surgery AGAIN!!!

Stick a fork in him....hes a baked tater!

God I was sure they would go RB in the draft this year to solve this..

Jamal must be the funniest freaking guy in the locker room and front office and just keeps himself around because he's hilarious.

You are right, the allure is almost hypnotic.

Or because they don't want to let go of their weed man. At least this way he doesn't have to traffic across state lines to his teammates... again.
