Lewis: `Working on' indoor practice facility

The Bengals are practicing this afternoon in cold rain and 43-degree.

Several players, including quarterback Carson Palmer, talked about the need for an indoor practice facility.

"We're working on that," coach Marvin Lewis said when asked about Palmer's comments.

The Bengals are the northern-most NFL team without an indoor practice facility.

In terms of injuries, as the Bengals look ahead to Sunday when they will play New Orleans and try to snap a three-game losing streak, linebacker Brian Simmons (neck) is doubtful. Two starting players in the under-performing secondary, cornerback Deltha O'Neal and strong safety Dexter Jackson (foot) are questionable. Left tackle Levi Jones (knee) is questionable.

Right tackle Willie Anderson (shoulder), wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (concussion) and safety Kevin Kaesviharn (knee) are probable.

Center Rich Braham (knee) and wide receiver Kelley Washington (hamstring) are out. Braham is a "couple of weeks" ahead of schedule, Lewis said.
