The Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> may be playing their NFL Week 3 game against the Vikings<\/a> in Minnesota with backup quarterback Jake Browning<\/a> after starter Joe Burrow’s toe injury<\/a> during a Week 2 win.<\/p>\n

But the Vikings likely could be dealing with several injury-related issues of their own when they host the Bengals.<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s starting center, former Lakota West High School standout Ryan Kelly<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Running back Aaron Jones did not return to the game Sunday night after suffering a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Linebacker Jonathan Greenard suffered an oblique injury.<\/p>\n
