CHICAGO (AP/WVLT) -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis says he plans to retire at the end of the season.

Lewis told reporters after the Browns' 30-6 loss Sunday at Chicago that his 10th season will be his final one, adding, "I mean what I say."

Lewis, who missed two games in late September and early October with a hamstring injury, ran for 69 yards on 16 carries against the Bears. That gave him 349 this year and 10,736 in his career, which included seven seasons in Baltimore.

Lewis was a star running back at the University of Tennessee from 1997 thru '99.
