Jamal Lewis could return for 2010

Jan 04, 2010

Jamal Lewis, who spoke publicly for the first time Sunday since being placed on injured reserve with concussion syndrome, left the door open to return next season.

It was a dramatic turnaround from Nov. 1, when he said he planned to retire after this year. He backed that up a couple of days later, saying he wouldn't change his mind.

But Lewis, who's under contract with the Browns through 2010, admitted that he wasn't himself all season after getting knocked out cold in the opener against the Vikings. Ultimately, he was diagnosed with concussion syndrome. He's still seeing specialists in his hometown of Atlanta.

"You just don't know, really," he said about his future. "I'm just trying to let the concussion symptoms go away and get my head back to where it was and make a decision from there about my future. After I get everything straight up top, I can make a solid decision on that."

Chargers to sign RB J.K. Dobbins on one-year deal

Former Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins is planning to sign with the #Chargers on a one-year deal. Electric when healthy, Dobbins — who averages 5.8 yards per carry in his career — reunites with OC Greg Roman and can hit the market again in March.

Related Players: Gus Edwards

Fantasy Impact:

Dobbins has had poor injury luck in his career, but has only managed 234 total rushes since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. This is a low-risk, high-reward move by the Chargers and might give them a runway to wait a little longer in the '24 Draft before they address the position.

Cowboys sign RB Royce Freeman

The Cowboys have signed running back Royce Freeman to a one-year deal. Freeman had 319 yards on 77 carries with 2 touchdowns last year for the Los Angeles Rams. He was 3rd round pick of Denver in '18.

Related Players: Rico Dowdle, Deuce Vaughn

Fantasy Impact:

Freeman hasn't rushed for 500 yards since 2018, his rookie season. This shouldn't have any impact on the team drafting at the position and/or bringing back Ezekiel Elliott.

The Eagles have paid another big-time, rising player. This time, WR DeVonta Smith gets a 3-year, $75M contract extension that includes $51M guaranteed.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

Great news for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense as a whole. Smith will continue his 1b role in which he finished the 2023 season as fantasy's WR22.
