CINCINNATI -- Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was absent from Tuesday's practice due to a "minor health issue," the team said.
Lewis is dealing with a leg issue that caused him to ride a cart to and from practice on Monday. He briefly attended Tuesday's practice but left at the beginning.
"He will be back as soon as possible, which could be today or later this week. Special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons will lead the team during Coach Lewis' absence," the Bengals said in a statement.
Simmons, who has been with the team since Lewis arrived in 2003, said Tuesday that he could not remember the last time Lewis missed a practice.
