Activated, set to return Sunday The Jets activated Schweitzer (hand) off injured reserve Saturday.

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.

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.

Placed on IR Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets will place Schweitzer (calf) on injured reserve.

Won't return Sunday Schweitzer (calf) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants.

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.
