The Giants moved Schmitz (finger) to injured reserve Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz was moved to IR alongside starting left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring), so the Giants will be without two starting offensive linemen going into Sunday's game against the Raiders. With Schmitz's season over, Austin Schlottmann is set to start the last two weeks at center.

Schmitz (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz was initially listed as doubtful to play in Week 17, so it's little surprise to see the starting center now be ruled out. Austin Schlottmann is likely to step up as New York's top center for as long as Schmitz remains sidelined.

Schmitz (hand) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz upgraded to limited participation in practice Friday after opening the week as a non-participant due to a hand injury suffered in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Vikings. However, it appears the 26-year-old still may need more time before returning. If Schmitz is unable to play in Week 17, Austin Schlottmann would likely start at center for New York.

Schmitz (hand) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz suffered a hand injury in the second half of Sunday's loss to Minnesota and wasn't able to finish the game. It's unclear how serious the issue is, but coach Mike Kafka said Wednesday that the team isn't planning to shut him down "yet," which isn't the most promising wording. If Schmitz can't play this Sunday against the Raiders, Austin Schlottmann could start at center for New York.

Schmitz (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Austin Schlottmann is now in at center after Schmitz sustained a hand injury in the second half. If the 26-year-old is unable to return, the Giants could be shorthanded along the offensive line, as Andrew Thomas has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Schmitz (shin) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz was limited in practice all week, but he's progressed enough in his recovery from a shin injury to return Sunday from a one-game absence. He should reclaim his starting role at center, which would bump Austin Schlottmann to a reserve role.

Schmitz (shin) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz will be sidelined for his second game this season in Week 10 because of a shin injury he suffered in Week 9 versus the 49ers. In his absence, veteran Austin Schlottmann figures to start at center Sunday.

Schmitz (shin) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz went to the locker room after sustaining a shin injury early in the third quarter, and the third-year pro will not return to Sunday's game after being evaluated by medical staff. Austin Schlottmann will serve as the Giants' center the rest of the way.

Schmitz (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Schmitz was able to receive clearance from concussion protocol Thursday, leaving behind the concussion that sidelined him for Week 7. The 26-year-old will be back in his starting role at center Sunday versus the Eagles.

Schmitz (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year pro from Minnesota sustained a concussion during the Giants' Week 6 win over the Eagles and wasn't able to clear protocol in time to play Sunday. While Schmitz is sidelined, Austin Schlottmann is expected to step in and start at center.
