Ryan Kelly Injury News & Updates
Dec 4, 2025
Logs full practice Thursday
Kelly (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
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.
Dec 3, 2025
Held back at practice
Kelly (hip) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
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.
Nov 30, 2025
Suffered flexor injury
Kelly suffered a hip flexor injury in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Seattle, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly exited the game in the second half with a hip issue, which is now understood to be a flexor problem. The 32-year-old will be reevaluated in the coming days, but if he is forced to miss any action moving forward, Michael Jurgens could stand to operate as the team's starting center.
Nov 30, 2025
Exits with hip injury
Kelly (hip) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Seahawks,Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly just returned to the active roster from the injured reserve this week, and will just as quickly have to exit the field of play. Michael Jurgens will resume his recent role as the center for the Vikings offense.
Nov 22, 2025
Activated from IR, playing Sunday
The Vikings activated Kelly (concussion) from injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play Sunday since Week 4. His return means Michael Jurgens will revert to a reserve role on the offensive line.
Nov 21, 2025
Questionable for Week 12
Kelly (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Kelly remains on injured reserve but was designated for return last Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. Kelly was able to log full practice time this week, giving him a chance to return against the NFC North rivals.
Nov 19, 2025
Full participant in practice
Kelly (concussion) was a full participant in Minnesota's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a concussion but appears closer to making his return. The team will still have to officially activate him off injured reserve before he's eligible to play again, but the 32-year-old should have a chance to be good to go for Sunday's matchup versus the Packers.
Nov 14, 2025
Not yet ready to return
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against Chicago, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, and he logged a trio of limited practices this week. However, he's not yet ready to play as he continues to work his way back from a concussion he suffered in Week 4 against Pittsburgh. Kelly's next chance to suit up will come Sunday, Nov. 23 against Green Bay. Until Kelly is able to return, Michael Jurgens should continue to start at center for the Vikings.
Nov 12, 2025
Designated to return
The Vikings designated Kelly (concussion) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has been sidelined since the Week 4 loss to the Steelers but is now closer to making his return. The 32-year-old was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, and the team will now have 21 days to officially activate him.
Nov 3, 2025
Getting closer to return
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Kelly (concussion, IR) will begin working off to the side of practice this week, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Connell also noted that this doesn't necessarily mean the Vikings will open Kelly's 21-day practice window, it's just a step in the right direction for his return. The veteran center was placed on injured reserve in early October after sustaining two concussions through Minnesota's first four games.
Oct 4, 2025
Sent to injured reserve
The Vikings placed Kelly (concussion) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has already sustained two concussions this season and has a history of concussions, so the Vikings are giving him time to fully recover. With Kelly sidelined and Michael Jurgens (hamstring) ruled out for Sunday, Blake Brandel is pencilled in as the starting center against Cleveland.
Oct 3, 2025
Ruled out for Week 5
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Kelly exited early last Sunday against the Steelers, and Michael Jurgens filled in at center, but Jurgens has also been ruled out against Cleveland due to a hamstring injury. Blake Brandel figures to draw the start in Week 5.
Sep 28, 2025
Won't return vs. Steelers
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Kelly remained in the locker room after halftime while being evaluated for a head injury, and the veteran center has entered the league's concussion protocol. It's the second time Kelly has entered concussion protocol this season; it prevented him from playing Week 2 against the Falcons, and he is in jeopardy of missing the Vikings' Week 5 clash against the Browns on Sunday, Oct. 5. With Kelly sidelined, Michael Jurgens will remain at center for the rest of the game.
Sep 28, 2025
Being checked for concussion
Kelly is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was able to clear the league's concussion protocol to suit up Week 4, but he's being evaluated by medical staff after taking a hit to the head in Sunday's contest. Michael Jurgens will fill in at center for as long as Kelly is out of the game.
Sep 26, 2025
Clears protocol
Kelly (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly practiced in full all week and has now passed through concussion protocol after missing Minnesota's Week 3 matchup against the Bengals. He's expected to serve as the Vikings' top center in Sunday's contest in Ireland.
Sep 24, 2025
Logs full practice Wednesday
Kelly (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly sat out in Week 3 versus the Bengals after sustaining a concussion in Week 2, but it now looks like he could be on track to return for Week 4. He'll need to fully clear league concussion protocol Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend, though.
Sep 14, 2025
Dealing with concussion
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday night's contest versus Atlanta, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly sustained a concussion in the first half of the game, bringing his night to a premature end. Michael Jurgens has taken over as the team's center with Kelly unavailable.
Sep 14, 2025
Being evaluated for concussion
Kelly (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday night's contest against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly suffered a blow to the head in the first half against Atlanta, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the contest. Michaels Jurgens has taken over at center in Kelly's absence.
Sep 12, 2025
Will play vs. Falcons
Kelly (toe) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Kelly sat out practice Wednesday and Thursday with a toe issue, but he was a full participant at practice Friday and looks good to go for Week 2. Minnesota and Kelly will hope to replicate the success they saw running the ball in Week 1.
Sep 11, 2025
DNP on Thursday
Kelly (toe) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a toe injury that he likely picked up during Minnesota's Week 1 win over Chicago. He would give himself a chance of playing against the Falcons on Sunday if he were to return to practice Friday in at least a limited capacity. Michael Jurgens would likely start at center if Kelly is not cleared to play.
Sep 10, 2025
Managing toe injury
Kelly was estimated as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough due to a toe issue.
ANALYSIS
Kelly logged all 56 of the Vikings' offensive snaps versus Chicago on Monday but hurt his toe in the process. His participation level (or lack thereof) throughout the rest of the week should provide more insight on whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Falcons. If Kelly can't play in that game, Michael Jurgens may be asked to start at center.
Mar 10, 2025
Slated to sign with Minnesota
The Vikings are slated to sign Kelly to a two-year, $18 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Selected 18th overall in the 2016 Draft, Kelly spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Colts but is set to move on ahead of his age-32 season. Kelly started just 10 games last season, missing two with a neck injury and another five following a knee scope. In total, Kelly started 121 games across his nine seasons with Indianapolis and was named to four Pro Bowls. He was a second-team All-Pro in 2020. Kelly's best football is likely behind him, but the Vikings hope he's an upgrade on Garrett Bradbury at center.
Dec 21, 2024
Set to return Week 16
Kelly (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, and he doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was placed on IR on Nov. 5 and subsequently underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He was designated to return Dec. 11 but wasn't activated ahead of last Sunday's loss to Denver; however, after beginning this week with a pair of full practices before getting a rest day Friday, it appears Kelly will be able to return to the field Sunday. If that does happen, he will likely start at center, moving Danny Pinter back to a reserve role.
Dec 15, 2024
Not playing Sunday
Kelly (knee) remains on injured reserve and will not play Sunday against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
The starting center will now miss his fifth straight game. Kelly has started all seven contests he's played in this season. Since he was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, his return may not be far off.
Dec 11, 2024
Practice window opens
Kelly (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran offensive lineman has missed the Colts' last four games after being placed on IR due to a knee injury, but Wednesday's return to practice suggests he's almost past the issue. If Kelly is activated to Indianapolis' active roster in time, he could suit up for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.
Nov 14, 2024
Confident in return this season
Kelly underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee and expects to play again in 2024, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was sent to the Colts' injured reserve list ahead of Week 10, so he'll be required to sit out until at least Week 15 at Denver. Whether Indianapolis feels there's any urgency to rush him back at that point could depend on its position in the AFC playoff picture, or lack thereof.
Nov 5, 2024
Lands on IR with calf injury
The Colts placed Kelly (calf) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly presumably sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Vikings. It's unclear how serious the injury is, but by being placed on IR, Kelly will be forced to miss the Colts' next four regular-season games. The earliest he can return will be Week 15 against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 15. In Kelly's absence, rookie fourth-round pick Tanor Bortolini will take over as the Colts' starting center.
Oct 18, 2024
Good to go for Sunday
Kelly (calf) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Dolphins and is expected to play.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a neck injury and then suffered a calf injury in last week's win over the Titans. He was unable to return for that one, but it's evidently not a serious issue for the Colts' center.
Oct 16, 2024
Missing Wednesday's practice
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that Kelly (calf) won't practice Wednesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
The Colts' top center sustained a calf injury in Sunday's win over the Titans, so Wednesday's DNP comes as no surprise. If Kelly cannot upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, expect Tanor Bortolini to serve as Indianapolis' starting center in Week 7.
Oct 13, 2024
Will not return
Kelly (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Titans, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly previously missed time this season due to a neck injury, but will now be sidelined with a calf issue. Tanor Bortolini will fill in at center now for the Colts.
Oct 9, 2024
Cleared from injury
Kelly (neck) was a full participant during practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has missed the Colts' last two games, but after logging a full practice Friday, he should be set to play Sunday against the Titans. With his return to play, Indianapolis will get back its starting center, moving Tanor Bortolini back to a depth role.
Oct 6, 2024
Officially inactive for Week 5
Kelly (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Kelly has been downgraded from doubtful to out after not practicing during Week 5 prep. In Kelly's absence, Tanor Bortolini will likely start at center again after making his first career NFL start last week versus the Steelers.
Oct 5, 2024
Downgraded to doubtful for Week 5
Kelly (neck) is now listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing all three practices this week, Kelly was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup. However, it appears that the veteran center will be held out for a second-straight week due to a neck injury. If Kelly is inactive, Tanor Bortolini would be the starting center for the Colts.
Oct 4, 2024
Could return Sunday
Kelly (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed the Colts' Week 4 win over the Steelers and didn't practice this week due to a neck injury. However, it appears the 31-year-old offensive lineman will attempt to play through the pain Sunday. If Kelly isn't able to suit up in Week 5, expect rookie Tanor Bortolini to serve as the Colts' top center.
Sep 29, 2024
Won't play Sunday
Kelly (neck) won't play Sunday against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After not being listed on the injury report Wednesday, Kelly missed practice Thursday and Friday due to a neck issue. The extent of the injury remains unclear, but the veteran will miss his first game of the season. In Kelly's absence, rookie Tanor Bortolini is expected to start at center versus the Steelers' stout defense.
Dec 31, 2023
Back in action
Kelly (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly exited earlier in the game and was replaced by Wesley French at center. However, the Alabama product has returned and will once again be snapping the ball to Garden Minshew.
Dec 31, 2023
Exits early
Kelly has left Sunday's game against the Raiders early with an ankle injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly's exit will the Colts down their starting center, although he is questionable to return. Wesley French has taken over the position for the time being.
Dec 1, 2023
Will play at Tennessee
Kelly (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Tennessee.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was a full participant at practice throughout the week, so it's no big surprise that he'll be available for Week 13. He projects to step back in as the starting center after he was sidelined for the Colts' win versus the Buccaneers in Week 12.
Nov 29, 2023
Still working through protocols
Kelly remains in concussion protocols Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly suffered the concussion during a Week 10 win over the Patriots and has remained out of action since. It's the veteran center's second concussion this season, which could be making it more difficult for him to return to practice. He'll likely need to return to the field Thursday to have a chance of suiting up in Week 13 against the Titans. Wesley French will likely be called upon again if Kelly can't play.
Nov 24, 2023
Missing Week 12
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
The veteran offensive lineman suffered his second concussion of the year during the Colts' Week 10 win over the Patriots, and he was held out of Friday's practice, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. Wesley French is expected to get the nod at center in Kelly's stead.
Nov 12, 2023
Did not return Sunday
Kelly (concussion) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly sustained the head injury in the second quarter and was ruled out in the third. This is the second concussion he has suffered this season but he'll have an extra week to recover and clear the league's protocols for Week 12 against the Buccaneers on Nov. 26.
Nov 12, 2023
Leaves with injury
Kelly has exited Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a head injury, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly will likely be evaluated for a concussion and will not be able to return if he suffered one. While he is out of the game, Wesley French has taken over at center.
Oct 15, 2023
Good to go Sunday
Kelly (ankle/foot) is officially active for Sunday's game at Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was questionable for Sunday's contest due to the pair of injuries, but he's suiting up and won't end up missing his third game of the season.
Oct 13, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Kelly is listed as questionable with foot and ankle injuries ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
The All-Pro center popped up on Indianapolis' injury report Friday with foot and ankle issues, as he was unable to participate in practice. Kelly has already missed two games this year, and if he were to miss this coming Sunday, Wesley French would be the next man up on the Colts' offensive line.
Oct 6, 2023
Clears protocol
Kelly has cleared concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against Tennessee, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old missed the Colts' last two games with a concussion suffered during the team's Week 2 win over Houston, but it seems as if he's had enough time to move past the issue. Kelly's return is big for Indianapolis, as he received second-team All-Pro honors and made three Pro Bowls from 2019-2021.
Sep 29, 2023
Out Week 4
Kelly (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Los Angeles.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was trending towards playing this week, as he was a full participant during Colts practice Wednesday and Thursday. He was a non-participant at the team's Friday practice and has since been ruled out this Sunday, making Wesley French the likely replacement for the second consecutive week.
Sep 27, 2023
Practices in full
Kelly (concussion) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed last week's win against Baltimore but is trending towards playing week, provided he can clear the concussion protocol in time. If the 2016 first-round pick is forced to miss a second straight week however, Wesley French will start again.
Sep 22, 2023
Will sit out at Baltimore
Kelly (concussion) is out for Sunday's game at the Ravens, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining a concussion in Week 2 at Houston, Kelly will have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. Wesley French figures to take over as starting center in his place.
Sep 20, 2023
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Kelly (concussion) missed Indianapolis' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly is still in the concussion protocol after suffering one during last week's win against the Texans. If the 30-year-old is unable to clear the protocol before Sunday, Wesley French should start at center in his place.
Sep 17, 2023
Won't return
Kelly has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Texans due to a concussion, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has been diagnosed with a concussion after leaving the game in the second half. In his absence, Wesley French will presumably take over at center.
Sep 17, 2023
Being evaluated for concussion
Kelly is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
If Kelly is unable to return, Wesley French will presumably take over at center.
Aug 23, 2023
Returns to practice
Kelly (foot) returned to practice Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
He was eased into practice, but it sounds like he'll be ready for the start of the regular season. The 30-year-old didn't miss a start last season and is entering his eighth year with the Colts after being taken 18th overall in the 2016 Draft.
Aug 16, 2023
Dealing with foot injury
Kelly (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old didn't miss a start last season and is entering his eighth season with the Colts after being taken 18th overall in the 2016 Draft. There's been no indication this is a serious injury.
Nov 28, 2022
Returns Monday
Kelly has returned to Monday's game against the Steelers after exiting with a knee injury, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly exited the game early in the second quarter. However, he wasn't absent for long, which should be good news for the Colts offensive line.
Nov 28, 2022
Exits with injury
Kelly (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Steelers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly went down with a knee injury and exited during the second quarter. In his stead, Danny Pinter has stepped in at center for the Colts.
Oct 16, 2022
Cleared for Week 6
Kelly (hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
ANALYSIS
Kelly injured his hip during the Colts' Week 5 contest against Denver, but the 29-year-old center doesn't look like he'll have to miss any time because of it. He should handle his usual starting role Sunday.
Oct 6, 2022
Questionable to return Thursday
Kelly suffered a hip injury and is questionable to return to Thursday's contest against the Broncos, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly injured his hip sometime during the first half of Thursday night's game against Denver. Danny Pinter has taken over Kelly's duties at center.
Sep 8, 2022
Back at practice
Kelly (illness) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Kelly tested positive for COVID-19 in late August, but he's now back with the Colts ahead of the Week 1 matchup with the Texans. The 29-year-old was still limited by a knee injury but should be available for the season opener.
Aug 24, 2022
Tests positive for COVID-19
Kelly (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 and is out for the time being, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly will be unavailable for practice until he clears the league's protocols surrounding the virus, potentially sidelining him for the team's preseason finale with the Buccaneers on Saturday. The center shouldn't have any issues being ready for the Colts' regular season opener Sept. 11 versus Houston.
Dec 30, 2021
Returns to team
Kelly (personal) rejoined the Colts on Wednesday and is set to play Sunday against the Raiders, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed the past two games to be with his family after his wife suffered a miscarriage, but he's rejoined the team this week. The 28-year-old should reclaim his starting spot at center this weekend now that he's back.
Dec 23, 2021
Won't play Week 16
Colts head coach Frank Reich ruled out Kelly (personal) for Saturday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly will miss his second straight game after he announced Monday that his wife recently suffered a miscarriage 19 weeks into her pregnancy. The Colts plan to give Kelly as much time off as he needs to be with his family, making it uncertain if he'll be back for Indianapolis' Week 17 game against the Raiders. Danny Pinter is likely to pick up another start at center Saturday.
Dec 18, 2021
Inactive Saturday
Kelly (knee/illness) is inactive for Saturday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed practice Thursday due to a personal matter and it appears that he will ultimately not play due to this issue. This will make the second straight game that the Colts offense will be without their Pro Bowl center. Backup Danny Pinter will also get his second-straight start coming off a blowout win over the Texans two weeks ago.
Dec 16, 2021
Questionable for Week 15
Kelly (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Kelly appeared set for action after logging a full practice Wednesday. However, he was not on the field in any capacity Thursday, leaving his status for Saturday's game murky. If Kelly is unable to suit up, Danny Pinter should take over at center.
Dec 14, 2021
Back from COVID list
Indianapolis activated Kelly (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The Colts' starting center will be back in action for Sunday night's contest against a stout New England defense. Kelly's presence will provide more stability for both Carson Wentz and Jonathan Taylor.
Dec 4, 2021
Put on COVID list
Kelly was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly will be forced to miss the Colts' game Sunday against the Texans. With a bye the following week, the Pro-Bowl center will try to return in Week 15 against the Patriots. In his absence, Danny Pinter will likely draw the start.
Sep 3, 2021
Back from COVID list
Kelly (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly landed on the COVID list at the start of the week but will quickly rejoin the active roster. The 28-year-old should continue to handle starting duties at center for the Colts in 2021.
Aug 30, 2021
Shifts to COVID list
The Colts placed Kelly (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly was placed on the COVID-19 list alongside teammates Carson Wentz and Zach Pascal. The starting center will have just under two weeks to gain clearance for Sept. 12's season opener against the Seahawks.
Aug 24, 2021
Full go at practice
Kelly (elbow) is healthy and competing in team drills during Tuesday's practice, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly has been sidelined since July 30 with his elbow issue, but he appears ready to go for the start of the regular season. It is unclear if the Colts will want to get him game action during Friday's preseason contest against the Lions before Week 1.
Aug 16, 2021
Returns to practice
Kelly (elbow) returned to practice Monday.
ANALYSIS
Kelly tweaked his injury during a play July 30 and was expected to miss a few weeks. It looks like he could be ready for Week 1.
Jul 30, 2021
Sidelined with elbow injury
Kelly is expected to miss a couple of weeks of training camp after suffering an elbow injury in Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly tweaked his injury during a play Thursday and it was first thought to be minor, but he'll apparently need some time off. He suffered the injury early enough in training camp to be ready for Week 1, but watch his progress as he's a key starter on Indy's offensive line.
Dec 2, 2020
Back to work Wednesday
Kelly (neck) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Kelly missed last week's loss to the Titans with the neck issue, but as evidenced by this news, he appears on track to return for Week 13. Now healthy, expect Kelly to return to his usual starting role as the team's center for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Nov 28, 2020
Out Week 12
Kelly has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans with a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Kelly didn't practice all week and was originally considered questionable with the neck injury, but he won't be available for Sunday's contest. Danny Pinter is likely the next man up at center for the Colts.
Nov 1, 2020
Suiting up against Lions
Kelly (knee) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The reigning Pro Bowl center suffered a knee injury in practice Wednesday and had to sit out the week's remaining sessions, but he's evidently shown enough to Indianapolis' training staff to earn the nod for Sunday. Kelly has played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in five of his six appearances this season, though the Colts have thus far posted an NFL-worst 3.6 yards-per-carry team rushing average on the season.
Oct 30, 2020
Questionable with knee injury
Kelly (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly hurt his knee Wednesday and has been unable to practice since. Rookie Danny Pinter would start at center if Kelly can't go.
Sep 11, 2020
Ready for Week 1
Kelly (knee) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Jaguars, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Kelly, whom the Colts recently made the highest-paid center in the league, is set to draw his usual start in Jacksonville on Sunday. Anthony Castonzo (oblique) and Quenton Nelson (back) have also been cleared to suit up.
Aug 18, 2019
Back in action
Kelly (shoulder) was able to suit up for 19 offensive snaps during Saturday's preseason game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Kelly sustained a shoulder injury at some point in early August, which had kept him sidelined from team work. The fact that he was back healthy for the second preseason game suggests that the 26-year-old will assume his usual role as the starting center for Week 1 against the Chargers.
