Center Ryan Kellly injury vs. Seahawks: Latest news on Vikings' Center

Things just keep going from bad to worse for the Minnesota Vikings. First, they came into Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, missing their starting quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, and relying on an undrafted rookie backup, Max Brosmer. That experiment has failed spectacularly, as Brosmer has struggled even more than McCarthy has this season -- and that's saying something.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the Vikings lost their starting running back, Aaron Jones, in the second half to a shoulder injury. Jones initially didn't want to be checked out by the medical staff, but was eventually taken into the medical tent and has not returned to the game.

Ryan Kelly Injury Update

As if that wasn't enough, it looks like the Vikings are going to have to finish the game without their starting center, Ryan Kelly. Kelly was injured in the second half against the Seahawks and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with a hip injury.

How long will Ryan Kelly be out?

There's been minimal information released about Kelly's injury beyond the fact that he's been ruled out for the remainder of the game, with the ambiguous "hip injury" designation. It could be something as simple as a stinger or bruise, and the staff is being cautious, keeping him out in a game that seems all but wrapped up anyway. Or it could be something more serious that keeps Kelly on the shelf for weeks.

We'll know more in the coming days after Kelly is fully evaluated. Stay tuned to Vikings Wire for injury updates.
