End Za’Darius Smith was also added to the injury list with a back injury.
The injuries to Garrett and Smith are not believed to be serious, and their status for Sunday's game at Jacksonville (01-) won't be known until after Friday's practice.
The NFL's reigning AP Defensive Player of the Year, Garrett had a sack and forced a fumble in Cleveland's 33-17 loss to Dallas in Week 1. Garrett has played in 32 of 33 possible games the past two seasons.
Smith had a sack three tackles against the Cowboys. In his second year with the Browns, Smith hasn't missed a game in two seasons.
It's been a tough week for Cleveland's defense.
On Wednesday, the team placed four defenders — safety Juan Thornhill, tackle Maurice Hurst II and linebackers Tony Fields II and Mohamoud Diabate — on injured reserve. All of them must miss at least four games.
Thornhill had nine tackles in the opener, one of his best games since signing as a free agent with Cleveland before last season.
Rookie cornerback Myles Harden was added to the IR on Thursday.
