"The Vikings (2-2), who dropped a 24-21 game to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin last week, spent this past week in London sorting through options for an injury-ravaged offensive line. Minnesota placed center Ryan Kelly on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he will miss at least four games after suffering two concussions in the first month of the season. The decision is a long-term blow for an offensive line that will be missing a total of three starters for Sunday's game against the Browns."
"The Browns (1-3) are turning to rookie QB Dillon Gabriel in hopes of jump-starting the league's second-lowest-scoring offense (14 points per game). Gabriel's first start comes in a bit of an unusual spot -- he will become the first quarterback to make his first start in an international game -- but Cleveland believes the third-round pick has prepared well for the moment."
Sunday's Week 5 slate begins in London with the Minnesota Vikings facing the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Vikings (2-2) are coping with multiple offensive-line injuries after a 24-21 loss in Dublin; center Ryan Kelly was placed on injured reserve after suffering two concussions and will miss at least four games, leaving three starters sidelined. The Browns (1-3) will start rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel to try to boost an offense averaging 14 points per game. Gabriel will make his first NFL start in an international game, and Cleveland believes the third-round pick is prepared.
