Minnesota Vikings center Ryan Kelly is retiring after 10 seasons, he announced.

Kelly, who is 32, suffered multiple concussions during last season. This caused him to only play eight games, and also comes after already having dealt with concussions amongst other injuries in past seasons.

He played his final season with the Vikings after signing there as a free agent last offseason. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, where he made four Pro Bowls.

Kelly had been an NFL starter since the Colts selected him in the first round of the 2016 draft. He racked up 129 starts over his career.
