BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns are placing right guard Wyatt Teller on injured reserve, a league source told ESPN on Wednesday, sidelining him for at least the next four games.

Teller injured his knee in the third quarter of Cleveland’s loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, and coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Teller would miss “multiple weeks.”

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Teller has missed only three games in the previous three seasons. Third-round pick Zak Zinter, who filled in for Teller against the Giants, is expected to start at right guard against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Teller’s injury was one of several along the offensive line that Cleveland faced Sunday, forcing a mass shuffling across the unit. The Browns lost Jedrick Wills Jr. (knee) and James Hudson III (shoulder) to injuries, and Dawand Jones was benched after halftime because of a knee injury, according to Stefanski, before coming back into the game after Hudson went down.

Stefanski said Wednesday that the Browns would add an offensive tackle this week.

Stefanski also said he doesn’t anticipate defensive end Myles Garrett will miss the Raiders game, despite dealing with injuries to his feet, Achilles and thigh.
