Grammar
The adverb 'that'
I have extracted the below sentence on the Online Collins Cobuild Advanced Learner's English Dictionary.
A report yesterday that said British unemployment would continue to rise.
This is URL of that: http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/american-cobuild-learners/would?showCookiePolicy=true
See the second usage.
Is it possible the adverb 'that' modify a verb in as the above sentence, or is the above sentence is only the noun phrase?
In advance, Thank you for your help.

Oh, I'm sorry; my mistake.
I will re-link.

See the last sentence of the first usage.

I guess I didn't need the link. As I said, it's a noun phrase.

park sang joon why does the sentence have the punctuation 'period'.Either Collins' editorial policy or an editorial oversight. It is just a dictionary entry, not a sentence in a formal text, so don't worry if you meet such again.

I have seen incomplete sentence in several dictionaries so many times, so I always wondered that.
