Returns to practice
Teller (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller suffered a knee injury during the preseason finale and did not return to the game. The Browns maintained the guard's removal was precautionary, and Teller's presence at practice suggests it was a minor injury.
Aug 30, 2022
Precautionary removal
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Teller (knee) was removed from the final preseason game out of precaution, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Stefanski said that both Teller and Grant Delpit (hip) were removed out of an abundance of caution and are expected to be okay for Week 1 of the regular season. The coach added that each player would have gone back in if it were a regular game. Teller is Cleveland's starting right guard and will be leaned on as part of a run-heavy attack while quarterback Deshaun Watson is suspended for the first 11 games.
Aug 27, 2022
Fails to return to game
Teller (knee) missed the remainder of the preseason finale with the Bears, Dan Labbe of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Exits with knee injury
Teller left Saturday's game against the Bears early with a knee injury, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Dec 19, 2021
Moves back to active roster
Teller was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Teller's move back to the active roster is great news for the Browns' offensive line going into their game against the Raiders on Monday. However, with Jedrick Wills and James Hudson's statuses still up in the air, the Browns could still be missing significant parts of their offensive line.
Dec 14, 2021
Tests positive for COVID-19
Teller was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller's potential absence would be a strain on the Browns' offensive line, especially with right tackle Jedrick Wills also being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. If Teller is unable to clear protocols in time for Saturday when the Browns takes on the Raiders, Michael Dunn would likely draw the start.
Nov 9, 2021
Agrees to four-year extension
The Browns inked Teller to a four-year contract extension Tuesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller's extension includes $28 million in guarantees and an average of $14.2 million per season, securing his position with the team through 2025. The 26-year-old excels as a run blocker, and he hasn't yet missed an offensive snap this season.
Jan 3, 2021
Active against Steelers
Teller (ankle) is active Week 17 against Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
With Teller active and ready to start at right guard, the Cleveland offensive line looks to be at full strength, which could mean good things for Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt and the overall rushing attack.
Jan 1, 2021
Questionable for Week 17
Teller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday, but his status for Sunday's regular season finale remains up in the air. Backup guard Nick Harris (knee) has already been ruled out, so Michael Dunn would be next in line to assume Teller's duties.
Dec 29, 2020
Could practice Wednesday
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said he's "hopeful" that Teller (ankle) will resume practicing Wednesday, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller missed the last two games with the injury, and the Browns' running game missed him. Cleveland's fourth-ranked rushing offense averaged just 3.1 yards per carry over the last two weeks without its starting right guard.
Dec 25, 2020
Officially ruled out
Teller (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier in the week that Teller was unlikely to take the field for the team's Week 16 contest, and he was officially ruled out Friday. Nick Harris will likely start at right guard in his absence.
Dec 21, 2020
Likely to miss Week 16
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Teller (ankle) is unlikely to suit up Week 16 against the Jets, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller has burst onto the scene during his third pro campaign out of Virginia Tech, transforming from a 2018 fifth-round draft choice of the Bills into Pro Football Focus' top-rated NFL guard through 15 weeks of the 2020 season. Nick Harris would be Cleveland's presumed next man up at right guard should Teller sit out a Week 16 matchup against the no-longer winless Jets.
Dec 18, 2020
Ruled out for Week 15
Teller (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Giants, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Kevin Stefanski deemed Teller to be "week to week" but wouldn't reveal the specific nature of the injury. Teller may not be available for next week's matchup against the Jets, either. Until Teller returns, Chris Hubbard is expected to start at right guard.
Dec 13, 2020
Back from COVID list
Teller (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 list Sunday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list early in the week as a high-risk close contact of an infected individual, but he cleared the league protocols in time for Monday. Teller should take up his usual post at right guard against the Ravens.
Dec 12, 2020
On track for Monday
Teller is on track to be activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list for Monday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller was placed on the list Tuesday as a high-risk close contact of someone not affiliated with the Browns, but he has tested negative since. As long as Teller continues to test negative, the offensive guard can rejoin the team in person five days from exposure. He has been Cleveland's best offensive lineman, per Pro Football Focus' grading system, and is a key blocking component for running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Dec 8, 2020
Placed on COVID-19 list
Teller has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list but did not test positive for COVID-19, Nate Ulrich of The Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller has been identified as a high-risk close contact to someone who has tested positive for the virus. Should he be ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, look for Chris Hubbard to make the spot start.
Nov 29, 2020
Clear to face Jaguars
Teller (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller missed three consecutive games between Weeks 6 and 8 while nursing a calf injury, but he has been able to suit up for Cleveland's past two contests, fielding 100 percent of the offensive snaps against Houston and Philadelphia. After putting in three limited sessions during the practice week, Teller has shown enough to the training staff to earn the nod for Week 12. The third-year man out of Virginia Tech is enjoying a breakout 2020 campaign, as his Pro Football Focus performance grade of 95.6 rates as the best of any offensive player in the NFL through 11 weeks.
Nov 22, 2020
Active against Philly
Teller (calf) is active Week 11 against Philadelphia, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Considering Teller was limited in practice all of last week and still suited up, it's no surprise to see him take the field this week as well. Look for him to assume his usual role as the starting right guard.
Nov 20, 2020
Considered questionable
Teller (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller was a limited participant in every practice for a second straight week. He was able to play through the injury last week against the Texans, and he figures to be cleared again in Week 11, barring a setback. If that's indeed the case, he'll start at right guard and pave the way for Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Nov 14, 2020
Cleared to play
Teller (calf) will be available for the Browns' Week 10 matchup versus the Texans, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller practiced in limited fashion throughout the week. However, the Browns' were likely just exercising caution in order to not over do it. He has been sidelined since Week 5 and figures to resume his usual role at right guard assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Nov 11, 2020
Trending in right direction
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Teller (calf) is progressing and could play in Sunday's game against the Texans, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller has been sidelined since Week 5 with the calf issue, but appears closing in on a return to the field. Following the team's bye week, it appears there's a good chance for Teller to return, but the call will likely come from the team Friday per Trotter.
Nov 2, 2020
Considered day-to-day
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Teller (calf) is progressing and considered day-to-day, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old has been sidelined since suffering the calf injury Week 5, but it appears he's closing in on a return. The Browns have their bye this week, and he may be able to return Nov. 15 against the Texans.
Oct 30, 2020
Won't play in Week 8
Teller (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Chris Hubbard should slide into the starting right guard spot in Teller's place. With the Browns on bye in Week 9, Teller's next chance to take the field will come in Week 10 against Houston.
Oct 29, 2020
Doubtful for Week 8
Coach Kevin Stefanksi relayed that Teller (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Raiders, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year offensive guard has been an analytics darling when able to take the field this season, ranking out with an elite 94.4 Pro Football Focus grade. Teller has been unavailable to play the past two games, however, after sustaining the injury during a Week 5 win over Indianapolis. This certainly isn't the worse matchup for Teller to sit out if he indeed is unable to go, as the opposing Raiders are tied for 30th in the NFL with 1.2 team sacks per game.
Oct 26, 2020
Status uncertain for Week 8
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Teller's (calf) status for this Sunday's game versus the Raiders is still up in the air, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Stefanski seemed indifferent, at best, when asked about Teller's status, relaying that he wouldn't rule the offensive guard out quite yet. We'll have a better idea of Teller's availability as the practice week progresses. He didn't practice at all last week, so any return to the field would be a step in the right direction.
Oct 23, 2020
Ruled out to face Bengals
Teller (calf) is ruled out for Sunday's game in Cincinnati, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller will miss his second straight contest due to a lingering calf strain, the severity which has caused the Browns to deem him week-to-week. Chris Hubbard stands to take over at right guard in his stead.
Oct 16, 2020
Out Week 6
Teller (calf) was ruled out for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller suffered a strained calf last week and won't be available for Sunday's divisional matchup. Chris Hubbard is his likely replacement at right guard.
Oct 12, 2020
Deemed week-to-week
Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Teller suffered a strained calf in Sunday's win over the Colts and is considered week-to-week, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Teller's in danger of missing a Week 6 matchup against the Steelers, but we'll know more about his status by the end of the practice week. If the third-year lineman indeed misses time, Chris Hubbard is expected to start at right guard in his place.
Oct 11, 2020
Won't return Sunday
Teller (ankle) will not return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Andrew Gribble of the Browns' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Browns initially listed Teller as questionable due to an ankle injury, but he's now been ruled out due to a calf issue according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic. Chris Hubbard will finish Sunday's contest as the Browns' starting right guard.
Oct 11, 2020
Leaves with calf injury
Teller was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a calf injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
The starting right guard was replaced by Chris Hubbard. Coach Kevin Stefanski should have an update on Teller's condition within the next couple of days if the third-year lineman is unable to return.
