He has 5 days to appeal if he chooses to do so.

You're right...he has 5 days to appeal..so basically it will be a Ravens decision..do they start the suspension this Sunday and get it out of the way or do they let the 5 days go by while thinking about appealing before deciding not to appeal...if that makes sense...Basically Billick and company need to decide if they need Jamal Lewis for this game or do they think they can win without him...

If I'm the Ravens... I don't mind starting the suspension with a 1-3 team.

Ok, so I'll admit I'm still a bit confused. I saw this article and it had me wondering if Jamal was sitting out Sunday:

If he is suspended by the NFL, the players association may decide to appeal because the transgression came before he was in the league, although the Ravens said they would accept any penalty.

"We understand that Jamal is also subject to discipline by the NFL," Ravens President Steve Cass added. "We know that the commissioner will look thoroughly at all the circumstances surrounding Jamal's admission. We will accept whatever the commissioner decides."
