Ravens coach Brian Billick has named Jamal Lewis his starter, according to the Baltimore Sun.

"That's not in his best interest. I think Jamal recognizes that. Every back wants the ball but by year's end, it's 'Oh, I wish I didn't have this many.' Mike gives us the opportunity to roll him in because he does the same things Jamal does for us."
