The Vikings placed center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve Saturday while activating fullback C.J. Ham.
Kelly suffered a concussion in last weekend’s game against the Steelers in Dublin, did not practice all week in England and was listed as out for Sunday’s game against the Browns in London. It was Kelly’s second concussion of the season, after he suffered one in the home opener against the Falcons.
Kelly, 32, will need to miss a minimum of four games, meaning he will not be eligible to return until the Week 10 game against the Ravens on Nov. 9.
Coming off IR was Ham, meaning the fullback, who had been sidelined by a knee injury, might make his season debut Sunday. Ham was a full participant in practice this week and had been listed as questionable.
The Vikings also signed rookie guard Vershon Lee from the practice squad to the active roster and elevated running back Cam Akers and guard Henry Byrd from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game..
Quarterback Desmond Ridder was waived. With J.J. McCarthy sidelined for a third consecutive week by a high ankle sprain, it means the Vikings will have only two available quarterbacks on the roster for Sunday: starter Carson Wentz and rookie backup Max Brosmer.
