Coach Marvin Lewis was back with the Bengals on Wednesday after missing a practice to have a knee problem checked. Lewis had scans on a swollen knee Tuesday at the hospital.

Doctors told him that walking would help reduce the swelling, so he won't be limited on the sideline. Lewis, 58, is entering his 15th season with the Bengals and the final year on his contract.
