INDIANAPOLIS–The Indianapolis Colts will not have their starting center for at least the next four weeks. The team placed Ryan Kelly on injured reserve Tuesday.

Kelly has been battling both a calf and a knee injury. He has started in seven games this year, but missed two of them because of injury. Kelly is a four-time Pro Bowl selection (2019-21, 2023) and was an Associated Press Second Team All-Pro choice in 2020.

Rookie Tanor Bortolini, who has started two games in 2024, is supposed to take over at center with Kelly out.

The Colts also announced Tuesday that they’ve claimed defensive back Darren Hall off of waivers from the Arizona Cardinals.

Hall was originally selected by the Falcons in the fourth round (108th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of San Diego State. In 2024, he saw action in four games with Arizona and registered one special teams tackle.
