Ewart Haron "Jackie" Battle III (born October 1, 1983) is a former American football running back in the National Football League (NFL) for the Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, and Tennessee Titans.

[1] Battle accepted a football scholarship from the University of Houston, while majoring in Sports administration.

[3] Battle was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 2007 NFL draft.

He couldn't pass running backs Marion Barber III, Julius Jones and Tyson Thompson on the depth chart during training camp.

[6] A week later, on December 30, Battle set a career-high of 44 rushing yards on 13 carries in an OT loss to the New York Jets.

Battle was made active again on November 1, 2008, to back up Kolby Smith, who was replacing the suspended Larry Johnson.

The only statistics he recorded in the season were two special teams tackles and a −2 yard reception on a screen pass against the Denver Broncos.

[9] In a game against the Dallas Cowboys during week 5 of the 2009 NFL season, Battle suffered a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder while trying to bust a wedge during kick coverage.

Ironically, Larry Johnson, who was at the time the only back ahead of Battle on the depth chart, left the team a mere three weeks later.

Jamaal Charles had had a breakout performance to end the 2009 season, and the Chiefs had also recently signed veteran Thomas Jones from the New York Jets, drafted rookie Dexter McCluster from Ole Miss.

The next week vs. the Buffalo Bills, Battle converted a key 3rd down run during a 13–10 overtime win.

In game 2 of the 2011 season, starter Jamaal Charles went-down with an ACL injury for the year, giving Battle more carries.

In week 16 of the 2011 NFL season, Battle injured his foot during the Chiefs/Raiders game, which eventually would lead to a Chiefs loss and end their playoff hopes.

[17] After retiring from football, Battle and his wife opened up a charity clothing store called Philanthropy in The Woodlands, Texas.
