Kelly is being placed on the list due to sustaining a second concussion in the past three weeks.

Minnesota activated FB C.J. Ham from IR and signed C Vershon Lee to the active roster as well.

They also waived QB Desmond Ridder, while activating RB Cam Akers and WR Henry Byrd for Week 5.

Kelly, 32, is a former first-round pick by the Colts back in 2016 out of Alabama. He played out the fourth year of his four-year, $10.45 million rookie contract and made a base salary of $1.4 million for the 2019 season. 

The Colts picked up Kelly’s fifth-year option for the 2020 season, which paid him a base salary of $10.35 million. He then signed a four-year, $50 million extension with Indianapolis.
