The Cincinnati Bengals may be playing their NFL Week 3 game against the Vikings in Minnesota with backup quarterback Jake Browning after starter Joe Burrow’s toe injury during a Week 2 win.
But the Vikings likely could be dealing with several injury-related issues of their own when they host the Bengals.

Minnesota’s starting center, former Lakota West High School standout Ryan Kelly, left the Vikings’ Sunday night loss to Atlanta with what the team announced as a concussion. He was declared out, and fans expressed concern on social media because of his concussion history during his nine seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.
In addition, Vikings tackle Justin Skule, who was filling in for injured starter Christian Darrisaw, has a concussion, head coach Kevin O’Connell confirmed after the game.
Running back Aaron Jones did not return to the game Sunday night after suffering a hamstring injury.
Linebacker Jonathan Greenard suffered an oblique injury.
