Cleveland Browns: Announced Massive Injury News Regarding Elite 3-Time Pro Bowler

The 1-6 Cleveland Browns host the 5-2 Baltimore Ravens at Huntington Bank Field for their eighth regular season game. One important matchup to monitor throughout the game is the Ravens’ 3rd-ranked defensive line vs. the Browns’ 28th-ranked offensive line in the battle of the trenches. The Browns’ offensive line has struggled tremendously due to injuries to the position, as four of their ideal five starting five have missed at least one game.

Their elite interior lineman has missed the last four.

The Cleveland Browns 3x Pro Bowler hasn’t played since Week 3

Wyatt Teller suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and did not return for the remainder of the game in their Week 3 loss to the New York Giants. Tests determined that Teller suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain, which typically carries a four-to-six-week recovery time. The Browns placed him on injured reserve ahead of Week 4, and he missed Weeks 4-7.

Teller is eligible to return to the football field now that four weeks have passed.

He is ready to go

The Cleveland Browns designated Wyatt Teller for return on Wednesday and opened up his practice window in the process. Teller participated in Wednesday and Thursday’s practice as a limited participant and upgraded to a full participant on Friday. The team released their week’s final injury report on Friday and listed him as questionable.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Browns activated Teller on Saturday and to make room for him on the active roster, they released defensive back Kahlef Hailassie. He is expected to return to the starting lineup for tomorrow’s game. Having him back would provide a massive boost to their injury-depleted offensive line.

Who replaced him in the starting rotation?

The Cleveland Browns had two players start at right guard for the past four games. Zak Zinter got the nod in Weeks 4 and 5, playing every snap. Zinter struggled, and the Browns replaced him with Michael Dunn for Week 6, but an injury to Nick Harris in the opening drive caused the team to reinsert Zinter at right guard and slide Dunn to center. Finally, Dunn got the nod in Week 7.
