Bengals head coach to go under knife

Football Betting Lines

08/21/2007 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis will undergo surgery Wednesday to repair torn tendons in his left ankle.

The procedure will be performed by Dr. Jim Amis at Cincinnati's Good Samaritan Hospital, and is not expected to sideline Lewis for any length of time.

"The timing of this is not what I wanted," Lewis said. "But, I've been counseled it's the best plan to ensure that I can be fully productive during the regular season."

The Bengals practice schedule will not be altered, and assistant head coach Paul Alexander will stand in for Lewis if he should be absent for any length of time.

Lewis, named Bengals head coach prior to the 2003 season, has compiled a 35-29 regular season mark in the Queen City, along with one postseason appearance in 2005.
