WARE, Hertfordshire, England — The Vikings on Saturday activated fullback C.J. Ham from Reserve/Injured ahead of facing the Browns in London in Week 5.
Ham began the season on short-term Injured Reserve and returned to practice this week as the Vikings prepared for their second of consecutive International Series games.
Ham's first action of 2025 will occur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he scored a 2-yard touchdown in the Vikings win over the Jets last season.
Minnesota additionally placed veteran center Ryan Kelly on Injured Reserve. Kelly left Minnesota's Week 4 game against the Steelers at Dublin in concussion protocol. It was the second time he left a game in concussion protocol this season.
The Vikings also announced signing of interior offensive lineman Vershon Lee from their practice squad to the 53-man roster and the use of standard elevations from the practice squad for interior offensive lineman Henry Byrd and running back Cam Akers.
