Bengals TE Tyler Eifert dealing with undisclosed medical issue

Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was absent from minicamp on Tuesday, and did not participate with a helmet on Wednesday. When asked if Eifert would be ready for training camp, Marvin Lewis said, "I can't tell you that. When they tell him or release him to do what he can do then he'll be ready to go".
