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).
