Josh Kline

The team will take on approximately $4.46 million in dead cap space following his release. Minnesota signed Kline to a three-year, $15.75 million contract last March, but he merely played 734 offensive snaps over 15 appearances into said deal before having his contract terminated. Entering his age-30 season, Kline will undoubtedly land as an interior reserve elsewhere.

Kline's return should help open up even more running lanes for Minnesota's Dalvin Cook-led ground game. Injuries have limited Kline to eight appearances this season.

Kline suffered the concussion during last week's win over the Cowboys and was unable to practice this week. The 29-year-old will remain sidelined until he fully clears the concussion protocol. Dakota Dozier should fill his starting role on the offensive line.

Kline apparently failed to get though the concussion protocol. He will need to clear it in order to suit up for any future game action.
