The Bengals opened the week with some concern about wide receiver A.J. Green’s health after Green injured his arm in Monday night’s victory over the Broncos.

Now the guy who throws Green passes is also dealing with a medial issue. Quarterback Andy Dalton was sent home from the team’s Wednesday practice because he’s ill.

Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports that coach Marvin Lewis isn’t too worried that the illness will hinder Dalton for Sunday’s matchup with the Steelers to decide the AFC North champion. Lewis’s confidence may have something to do with Dalton’s ability to lead the team to a win against the Buccaneers while dealing with an illness earlier this month.

Dalton didn’t play too well in that game — 19-of-27 for 176 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions — but he was able to play and the Bengals would surely prefer having him in the lineup again this weekend as they try for their second straight division title.
