Ravens? Jamal Lewis indicted on drug charges
Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis was indicted Wednesday on federal drug charges.
Lewis is accused of conspiring to distribute cocaine in the summer of 2000, according to U.S. Attorney William S. Duffey.
The charge accuses Lewis of conspiring to possess with the intent to distribute 5 kilograms of a substance containing cocaine.
Duffey said he expected Lewis to turn himself in today.
Lewis had the second-highest rushing total in NFL history last season. His 2,066 yards fell short of Eric Dickerson?s record of 2,105 yards in one season.
Lewis was suspended for four games two years ago for a repeat violation of the NFL?s substance-abuse policy.

Williams confirms decision to head to NFL
Southern California sophomore receiver Mike Williams will be the first player to take advantage of the court ruling in the Maurice Clarett case and enter the NFL draft.
Williams, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound wide receiver, will join Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh and Roy Williams of Texas in a draft that will feature wide receivers. He finished last season with 1,226 receiving yards and 16 touchdown receptions last season.
Williams indicated after the Rose Bowl that he would stay at USC but decided to leave after speaking with NFL scouts. Under previous NFL rules, Williams would not have been allowed to leave college until after his junior year.

Tennessee Titans? QB pleads not guilty
Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair pleaded innocent Wednesday to charges of drunken driving and possession of a firearm while intoxicated.
He was arrested last May after a blood-alcohol test revealed a blood-alcohol content of 0.18 percent, almost twice the 0.10 level then used to define driving under the influence.
The arresting officer in the case was suspended in December for 15 days for violating department procedures during McNair?s stop and for taking home copies of videotapes of drunken driving arrests, including McNair?s.
