The Vikings placed Kelly (concussion) on injured reserve Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly's season is over after suffering his third concussion of the year during the Week 16 win over the Giants. Michael Jurgens will likely serve as Minnesota's starting center during the final two games of the campaign.

Coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday that Kelly (concussion) will not play Saturday against the Lions, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly suffered his third known concussion of the 2025 season last Sunday against the Giants. It would be extremely surprising if he plays again this season. Look for Michael Jurgens to be under center against Detroit.

Kelly (concussion) was listed as DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly has already suffered three concussions this season, with his latest coming in Sunday's win over the Giants. Realistically, it would be a shock if he played again this season. Michael Jurgens would be next up to start at center for Minnesota.

Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Michael Jurgens will remain at center for the rest of Sunday's game in Kelly's absence. With Kelly in the league's concussion protocol, he faces an uphill battle to play in the Vikings' Christmas Day game against the Lions.

Kelly (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Kelly (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly was unavailable for Wednesday's first session of the week, but he was able to make his return to practice Thursday. The offensive lineman is dealing with an apparent knee injury, and he'll have one more chance to log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Giants.

Kelly (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Kelly suffered the knee injury, though he's had an injury-plagued season, suiting up for only seven games. He has two days to improve his practice participation to have a chance to suit up Sunday against the Giants.

Kelly (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly hurt his hip against Seattle on Sunday and began this week with a limited practice session. However, his ability to upgrade to full participation Thursday likely means he'll be good to go for this Sunday's clash against the Commanders. If that's indeed the case, Kelly should start at center, as usual.

Kelly (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kelly suffered a hip flexor during last week's loss to the Seahawks, putting his status in question ahead of the Week 14 matchup versus the Commanders. Michael Jurgens will start at center if Kelly is inactive.
