AP source: Seahawks land Carlos Dunlap from Cincinnati Browns star, league sack leader Garrett not practicing

RENTON, Wash. – Carlos Dunlap has been traded from the Cincinnati Bengals to the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deal.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the trade.

Dunlap had made it clear that he was unhappy with his situation in Cincinnati and Seattle was in desperate need to solve its pass rush issues that have been a key part of a defense that ranks last in the league in yards allowed and passing yards allowed.

Dunlap, 31, has spent his entire career with the Bengals and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2015 and 2016. He had 46 sacks between 2015-19 and had eight sacks last year for Cincinnati.

This season, Dunlap has started four games and had one sack and 18 tackles.

CLEVELAND – Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, the NFL’s sacks leader, is not practicing Wednesday because of an ankle injury.

Coach Kevin Stefanski gave few details about Garrett’s condition, but said the team is being cautious as it prepares for this week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Garrett had two sacks in Sunday’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Garrett has nine sacks this season and has been a disruptive force in helping the Browns (5-2) to their best start since they opened 1994 at 6-1. He has a sack in six straight games and has four strip-sacks, three of which have been game-swinging plays.

The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2017, Garrett has 391⁄ sacks in 44 career games.
