CINCINNATI (AP) -- Bengals defensive tackle Domata Peko had arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday, sidelining him for at least a couple of weeks.
Peko sprained his left knee during a game on Oct. 18 but didn't miss any time until Sunday, when he was inactive for a 23-13 win over the Detroit Lions. Second-year player Pat Sims started in his place and had one tackle.
Peko is the second Bengals starting defensive lineman to have surgery. End Antwan Odom is out for the season with a torn right Achilles' tendon.
The Bengals (9-3) secured their second winning record in 19 years by beating the Lions. The AFC North leaders play at Minnesota next Sunday.
