Overview

• Kelly sustained his second concussion in three weeks and has a documented history of multiple prior concussions from his Colts tenure.
• Minnesota will also be without right tackle Brian O’Neill (MCL), left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist) and backup center Michael Jurgens (hamstring) against Cleveland.
• Blake Brandel is set for his first start at center, with rookie Joe Huber likely at left guard and rookie Vershon Lee promoted to the 53-man roster for depth.
• The Vikings waived quarterback Desmond Ridder, activated fullback C.J. Ham, and elevated guard Henry Byrd and running back Cam Akers from the practice squad.
• The shorthanded offensive line will protect starter Carson Wentz in London as Minnesota navigates a depleted interior group.
