Left off injury report
Schmitz (ankle) was left off the Giants' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings.
Impact
Schmitz sustained an ankle injury during the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets, but it appears he's moved past the issue just in time for New York's regular-season opener. Expect the second-year offensive lineman to start at center for the Giants in 2024.

Should be fine for Week 1
Schmitz, who left Saturday's preseason game against the Jets with an ankle injury, told reporters that he has no concern of not being available for Week 1 against the Vikings, Pat...
Impact
Schmitz got rolled up on during a fourth-and-short play in the first quarter. He doesn't appear worried about the injury keeping him out long term, but he will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury. Schmitz started in all 13 regular-season games he appeared in last season, and he will resume his starting role at center for 2024.

Ruled out with ankle injury
Schmitz will not return to Saturday's preseason game against the Jets due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact
Schmitz sustained the injury on an unsuccessful fourth-and-short play, though he indicated to the trainer that he was fine while walking to the sidelines, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Schmitz is projected to be the starting center for the Giants in 2024, and while he won't return Saturday, it appears the 2023 second-round pick has avoided serious injury.

Returns to practice
Schmitz (shoulder) participated in practice Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact
Schmitz had been sitting out since Monday due to a shoulder injury. He's expected to be eased back into practice, but assuming he doesn't experience any setbacks, Schmitz should be ready to line up as New York's starting center when the regular season kicks off.

Won't practice Monday
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Schmitz (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Impact
The severity of Schmitz's shoulder injury is currently unknown, but it forced him to miss Monday's practice. Once the second-year offensive lineman returns to full health, he's expected to remain the Giants' top center in 2024.

Good to go Sunday
Schmitz (shoulder) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact
Schmitz had missed New York's last two games and was questionable heading into Sunday's contest, but it now seems as if he'll be able to play through his shoulder issue. The 24-year-old should start at center for the Giants.
