INJURIES

Activated, set to return Sunday The Jets activated Schweitzer (hand) off injured reserve Saturday.
Impact This move was expected, as Schweitzer practiced all week and didn't have an injury designation heading into the weekend. The veteran offensive lineman is thus set to suit up in Sunday's Week 14 game against Miami after sitting out the entire campaign to this point due to a hand injury. Schweitzer, who will be a free agent after this season, will likely serve in a rotational role upon his return.

Likely to return Sunday Schweitzer (hand) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
Impact Schweitzer was designated to return from injured reserve Sunday and practiced in full all throughout the week, suggesting that he's now recovered from his hand injury. The San Jose State product must still be activated to the Jets' active roster in order to suit up in Week 14. If he's activated, he'll likely serve as one of the Jets' top backup offensive linemen.

Gets okay to practice again The Jets designated Schweitzer (hand) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
Impact Schweitzer has missed the entire season so far as he has dealt with a lingering hand injury, but it now seems he could be on track to return soon. The Jets will have 21 days to officially activate him before they'd have to put him back on injured reserve for the rest of the year.
DECEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Placed on injured reserve The Jets placed Schweitzer on injured reserve Saturday due to a hand injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schweitzer sustained a hand injury during practice this past week. It appears serious enough that he will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the regular season, and the earliest he can return is Week 5 against the Vikings on Oct. 6. Xavier Newman could serve as the Jets' backup center for Week 1 against the 49ers, though head coach Robert Saleh didn't confirm that plan Saturday.

Back on field for OTAs Schweitzer (calf) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, per the Jets' official site.
Impact Schweitzer landed on the IR twice last season due to a recurring calf injury, but he now appears to be fully recovered. The 2016 sixth-round pick has primarily spent his career at guard, but multiple injuries led to Schweitzer playing across the offensive line last season, including at center.

Placed on IR Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets will place Schweitzer (calf) on injured reserve.
Impact Saleh noted that Schweitzer does have a chance to return this season. He has to sit out for at least four games and would be eligible to return against the Falcons on Dec. 3, but he could be held out beyond that date. Billy Turner took over at right guard for Schweitzer in Sunday's 13-10 win over the Giants.
OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't return Sunday Schweitzer (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact Schweitzer filled in at center when Connor McGovern (knee) left the game, but he too exited the game shortly after. Xavier Newman will take over under center for the rest of Sunday's contest.
OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Exits game with calf injury Schweitzer (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schweitzer filled in at center during Sunday's game when starter Connor McGovern (knee) left earlier in the game, as backup Joe Tippmann (quadriceps) is inactive for the contest. Xavier Newman took over at center but botched an exchange with Zach Wilson that led to a lost fumble. Connor Hughes of SNY.tv suggests that Billy Turner could fill in under center to start the second half, or Laken Tomlinson could shift from left guard to handle snaps.

Lands with Jets Schweitzer signed with the Jets on Thursday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Impact Schweitzer has appeared in 80 games in his career, seven of which came in 2022. He's played every position along the offensive line, the most recent of which were right guard and center as a member of the Commanders. As things currently stand, he's penciled in as the Jets' starting center.

Returning from IR Washington activated Schweitzer (concussion) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.
Impact After missing the Commanders' last nine games recovering from a concussion, it appears Schweitzer is finally on track to suit up again in Week 13 at the Giants. With Trai Turner (ankle) listed as out for Sunday, it would make decent sense for Schweitzer to start at right guard.
