Marwin Lewis was absent from Tuesday's practice due to a "minor health issue."

The Cincinnati Bengals said Lewis is dealing with a leg issue that caused him to ride a cart to and from practice on Monday. He briefly attended on Tuesday before departing early.

"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 team said in a statement.

The Bengals have Thursday off and will play their first preseason game at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday.
