Browns place G Wyatt Teller (knee) on IR

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns placed Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller on injured reserve Wednesday.

The move will keep Teller off the field for at least the next four games for the Browns (1-2).

Teller sustained his knee injury during the third quarter of Cleveland’s 21-15 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday.

While head coach Kevin Stefanski initially informed reporters that Teller had been ruled out for this Sunday’s game against the host Las Vegas Raiders (1-2), he did not do the same for All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett (Achilles, thigh, feet).

Garrett, 28, has two sacks and two forced fumbles this season. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year and five-time Pro Bowl selection has 90.5 sacks for his career.

Teller, 29, has started 78 of 86 games he’s played in for the Browns and Buffalo Bills (2018), making three straight Pro Bowl appearances from 2021-23.

Also on Wednesday, the Browns signed tackle Germain Ifedi to the active roster from the practice squad.

Ifedi, 30, played in two games with Cleveland this season. He has started 83 of the 104 career games in which he played with four teams since being selected by the Seattle Seahawks with the 31st overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.

The Browns also signed tackles Sebastian Gutierrez and Ricky Lee III and defensive end Elerson Smith to the practice squad and released linebacker Luiji Vilain from the practice squad.

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller is facing a possible stint on injured reserve with a knee injury while All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett is considered day-to -day with a foot injury.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Monday the team is awaiting results from an MRI on Teller’s injury, sustained in Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants. Either way, he will miss multiple weeks, Stefanski said. Teller was injured in the third quarter of Sunday’s game.

Stefanski said Garrett also underwent an MRI.

Browns left tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and RT James Hudson III also exited in the third quarter of the loss, but Stefanski did not provide updates on them.

The Browns moved Joel Bitonio to LT from left guard and Ethan Pocic from center to left guard, with Nick Harris coming in at center to finish the game. Rookie Zak Zinter filled in for Teller at RG, while Dawand Jones replaced Hudson at RT.

Garrett, 28, has two sacks and two forced fumbles this season. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year and five-time Pro Bowler has 90.5 sacks for his career.

Teller, 29, has started 78 of 86 games he’s played in for the Browns and Buffalo Bills (2018), making three straight Pro Bowl appearances from 2021-23.

The Browns (1-2) play the first of three straight road games on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders (1-2).

Report: Myles Garrett fined $25K for criticizing officials

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The NFL fined Browns defensive end Myles Garrett $25,000 for comments he made criticizing officials, Cleveland.com reported Saturday.

Following last Sunday’s 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Garrett didn’t hold back when talking with reporters after the game.

“The officiating was a travesty today,” Garrett said. “It was honestly awful. And the fact that they’re letting them get away with hands to the face, holding, false starting — I know they called a couple, but damn, they could have called it all game. And (there was) the one that cost us down on the 2-yard line.”

The Browns were penalized eight times for 75 yards. Officials flagged the Jaguars seven times for 40 yards.

“I mean, respect to those guys, it’s a hard job, but hell, we have a hard job as well,” Garrett said of the officials. “You can’t make it harder by throwing holding and hands to the face out (of) the rulebook. And like I said, I got a lot of respect for those guys, but we get scrutinized for the plays that we don’t make. So someone has to hold them accountable for the plays or the calls they don’t make. And they need to be under the same kind of microscope as we are every single play.”

Garrett, 27, is in his seventh NFL season, all with the Browns. He twice has been named first-team All-Pro.

Browns DE Myles Garrett dislocates toe in Pro Bowl Games

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Taking tackling out of the equation did not prevent all injuries at the inaugural Pro Bowl Games.

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett limped off the field during one of Sunday’s flag football games in Las Vegas, and the team later confirmed reports that Garrett had dislocated his toe.

X-rays on the toe came back negative, the Browns added. It was unclear how long the injury would sideline Garrett as the offseason gets under way.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick in 2017 was a Pro Bowl selection for the fourth time. In 16 games (15 starts) in the 2022 season, Garrett racked up 16 sacks (matching his career high), two forced fumbles and 60 total tackles.

Browns’ Jadeveon Clowney apologizes to Myles Garrett

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Jadeveon Clowney apologized to Myles Garrett following his public outburst directed toward his teammate last week.

Clowney initially took issue with his role on the team and accused the Browns’ coaching staff of prioritizing Garrett’s individual success over winning games.

“You’re all trying to get (Garrett) into the Hall of Fame instead of winning games,” Clowney said at the time. “I don’t even think (Garrett) notices. I ain’t trying to say it’s him. I try to get along with everybody I play with. Me and him don’t have a problem. It ain’t his fault, and it’s B.S., and I don’t have time for it.”

Clowney, 29, told Cleveland.com it had become apparent the Browns have “their own guys, and I ain’t one of them, so it’s time for me to get my exit slip.”

The Browns didn’t have time for Clowney, downgrading him to out for the team’s regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For his part, Clowney said his comments were taken out of context and apologized to Garrett.

“As a son and a parent, I want to fully apologize to anyone I offended, especially Myles Garrett and his family,” Clowney said, per ESPN. “My words in the locker room were not only taken out of context, but completely misrepresented. As a man, I have reached out to Myles specifically to apologize, I will continue to learn and grow as I move forward.”

Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, has signed a one-year deal each of the past four offseasons. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, he has never reached 10 sacks in a single season since entering the league with the Houston Texans in 2014.

Myles Garrett sets Browns’ sack record, aggravates shoulder injury

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Defensive end Myles Garrett became the Cleveland Browns’ all-time sack leader on Sunday, but he also aggravated a left shoulder injury and left during the fourth quarter of their blowout loss to the visiting New England Patriots.

In the first quarter, Garrett sacked Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe to break Clay Matthews’ record and reach 62.5 sacks for his career.

He picked up his second sack and reached 63.5 for his career with another sack in the fourth quarter. But stayed down on the field and needed to be helped off the field by trainers.

Garrett was on the injury report all week after sustaining arm, shoulder and hand injuries in a car accident last month. He confirmed after the game that he’d aggravated the shoulder he sprained in the accident, but promised it wouldn’t sideline him for long.

“I was playing today and I’ll be playing next week,” Garrett said.

Led by their rookie third-string quarterback, the Patriots ran roughshod over the Browns’ defense in a 38-15 win. Garrett wanted to downplay his record and said he had to do more to help the unit.

“It comes in a loss,” Garrett said of the record. “It’s nice to be recognized and honored, but at the end of the day winners are remembered. And we’re not winning.”

Browns’ Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney questionable vs. Falcons

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive ends Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney are considered questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Falcons in Atlanta, coach Kevin Stefanski said Friday.

Garrett, 26, sustained a shoulder injury among other bumps and bruises following a car accident on Monday.

“The latest is (he is) here today and continuing to rehab,” Stefanski said of Garrett’s availability for the game. “We’re going to list him as questionable. We’re going to use the next 24, 48 hours to see how he continues to respond to treatment and those types of things and make an appropriate decision on him and the rest of the guys.”

Garrett has three sacks, seven tackles and a forced fumble in three games this season for the Browns (2-1).

A two-time All-Pro, Garrett has recorded 210 tackles, 61.5 sacks and 12 forced fumbles in 71 games (69 starts) since being selected by the Browns with the top overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Clowney, 29, is nursing an ankle injury that forced him to miss Cleveland’s 29-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 22.

He has totaled 297 tackles, 42.5 sacks and 13 forced fumbles in 99 career games (90 starts) with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Browns. Clowney was selected by the Texans with the top overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Myles Garrett issued citation in rollover crash

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett was issued a citation Thursday for failure to control his vehicle in the rollover crash that injured the two-time All-Pro earlier this week.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol issued the citation in Wadsworth Municipal Court. Garrett was cited for traveling at an un unsafe speed for the type of roadway; he was driving 65 mph in a posted 45-mph zone.

Garrett’s 2021 Porsche went off the road Monday and flipped multiple times before coming to a rest in a ditch.

Garrett and a female passenger were taken by ambulance for medical attention with non-life-threatening injuries. Both were released Monday night.

Garrett wound up with a shoulder sprain, a biceps strain, minor lacerations as well as some bumps and bruises to various other body parts. The accident occurred after Garrett, 26, left the practice facility in Berea, Ohio.

WKYC reported Wednesday that Garrett has been stopped for speeding at least six times since joining the Browns in 2017. Citing court records, WKYC said he has been cited for driving in excess of 100 mph multiple times, with a high of 120 mph.

Garrett was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and is in his sixth season with the Browns. He has recorded 61.5 sacks and 12 forced fumbles in 71 games (69 starts).

The Browns (2-1) are scheduled for a Sunday road game against the Atlanta Falcons (1-2) and there’s a chance that Garrett will be well enough to play.
