The Cleveland Browns activated three-time Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller from injured reserve on Saturday.

Teller was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 25, three days after he sustained a knee injury during the third quarter of Cleveland’s 21-15 loss to the New York Giants.

The Browns waived cornerback Kahlef Hailassie to make room on the roster for Teller. In addition, the club elevated wide receiver/punt receiver Jaelon Darden from the practice squad.

Hailassie, 23, recorded eight tackles in 10 career games (one start) with the Browns.

Darden, 25, has one catch for six yards in three games (one start) with Cleveland this season. He has returned 68 punts in his career for 667 yards (9.8 average) and returned 27 kickoffs for 565 yard (20.9) average in 27 career games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2021-22) and Browns.

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.

Report: Browns G Wyatt Teller agrees to 4-year, $56.8M extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Cleveland Browns have agreed to a long-term contract extension with guard Wyatt Teller, according to multiple reports.

The NFL Network first reported Tuesday morning that the Browns and Teller reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension worth $56.8 million with $29 million guaranteed.

A $14.2 million per year average would make Teller the third-highest paid guard in the league behind Washington’s Brandon Scherff and Kansas City’s Joe Thuney.

Teller, 26, figured to be a highly pursued free agent following the 2021 season.

Teller, a fifth-round selection of the Buffalo Bills in 2018, was traded to Cleveland in August 2019 for two late-round picks. He was named the team’s starting right guard later that season.
