Conklin and Newsome II active for Browns vs Vikings in London

LONDON (AP) — Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) and cornerback Greg Newsome II (hamstring) were both active for Cleveland’s game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Both had been listed as questionable on Friday, when Newsome was limited in practice.

Conklin’s availability at right tackle could be a boost in pass protection for left-handed rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who is making his first career start.

Cleveland’s inactives: Shedeur Sanders (emergency third quarterback), S Damontae Kazee, RB Raheim Sanders, DT Mike Hall Jr., T Thaler Munford Jr., G Zak Zinter and T Cornelius Lucas.

Minnesota will be missing three starters from its offensive line. Center Ryan Kelly (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Right tackle Brian O’Neill (knee) and left guard Donovan Jackson (wrist) are also out Sunday. Center Michael Jurgens (hamstring) was also inactive, after he had filled in for Kelly last week.

The Vikings’ other inactives: QB J.J. McCarthy, OLB Andrew Van Ginkel, TE Ben Yurosek, and DT Elijah Williams.
