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.
