Cleveland placed Wypler (ankle) on its injured reserve list Tuesday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports. Without a designation to return, Wypler is now in line to sit out the entire 2024 season as he recovers from a fractured ankle he sustained during the preseason. His absence leaves a spot on the 53-man roster open for Nick Harris.

Suffers broken ankle

Wypler will undergo surgery to repair a broken right ankle he sustained in Saturday's 23-10 preseason loss to the Packers, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. The timeline for Wypler's return won't likely be known until after he undergoes the procedure, but the second-year lineman will likely miss the first few games of the regular season. The 2023 sixth-round pick appeared in five regular-season games for the Browns last season, including a start in Week 18 against the Bengals.
Carted off field

Wypler was carted off the field during Friday's preseason game against the Packers due to a right ankle injury and he will not return, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. Wypler went down after his right ankle was caught underneath an attempted tackle. His right leg was wrapped in an air cast before being carted off the field, and the hope for the Browns and the 2023 sixth-round pick is that he avoided serious injury.
