Can my boss ask my co-workers if they want me removed from a general work task because of my FMLA?

I have an intermittent FMLA for my personal serious health condition. My boss at work wants to remove me as the lead on one of my daily tasks. I'm on a team of 5, we each are a lead on a daily task. Even though I'm a lead, each person is still responsible for completing this daily task as well. Being a lead means you're responsible for rolling out changes to the task and updating training material. I have accomplished these 2 items and haven't received any notices, discussions or reprimands saying that I haven't. My work performance is stellar and I'm one of the top 2 performers on the team. My boss approached my 4 co-workers and asked if they think I should step down as the lead because of my absences. I feel like I'm being penalized for my FMLA. If he does remove me from one task as a lead, then I will be put on another task as a lead. I'm not one of the top key persons in the company. Is he allowed to reach out to my co-workers like this about my FMLA absences and have them make decisions on my status?
