Jamal Lewis' drug conspiracy trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 1, the
middle of the NFL season.
The date, set Thursday by a federal court, comes between the eighth and
ninth weeks of the season, meaning that if the trial goes on as
scheduled, Lewis could miss a number of games. The Ravens are at Philadelphia on Oct. 31, then play host to Cleveland in a night game the following Sunday.
Lewis and Angelo Jackson, a childhood friend, are charged with
conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute cocaine and using a cell phone in violation of federal law. Jackson is additionally charged with
attempted cocaine possession.

Following up the Breaking Update we sent earlier - This is bad news for
those hoping the trial would be set for February or later. Keep in
mind, however, that Lewis's lawyers will probably file a motion to continue
the trial, and the fact that the evidence is already four years old may be
a point in their favor (since it is already as stale as it's going to
get). Before tonight's preseason game between Baltimore and Atlanta, Ravens head coach Brian Billick confirmed to Suzy Kolber that Lewis will not play during the trial.
If the trial goes forward on November 1, Lewis would probably miss between one and three games.
