The Patriots placed Schweitzer on the reserve/retired list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer is likely retiring despite having just signed with the team earlier in the offseason. He was in the mix to serve as the team's starting left guard, a job that will now likely go to Cole Strange.

The Patriots signed Schweitzer to a one-year contract Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer, after spending the last two seasons with the Jets, is now primed to handle a depth role at center for the Patriots. The veteran boasts ample NFL experience, currently heading into his 10th season in the league.

The Jets activated Schweitzer (hand) off injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Schweitzer (hand) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday 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.

The Jets designated Schweitzer (hand) for return to practice from their injured reserve list Wednesday, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Jets placed Schweitzer on injured reserve Saturday due to a hand injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Schweitzer (calf) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, per the Jets' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer landed on the IR twice last season due to the same 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, including at center.

Schweitzer (calf) is considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Barring a quick turnaround, Schweitzer is not trending toward playing. With the Jets out of the playoff picture, that would mean he may have played his last game this season. Still, final confirmation on his status will be made closer to kickoff.

The Jets designated Schweitzer (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in practice, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer has had two stints on injured reserve this season due to a calf injury. The Jets have only one more game left this season and have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so Schweitzer's designation to return Wednesday may mean that the teams intends for him to suit up Sunday versus New England. If that happens, it would be just the seventh game he has played on the campaign.

Schweitzer (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Schweitzer was placed on injured reserve in late October with the same calf injury, but he was activated prior to Week 13 and played an entire outing against the Falcons. The 30-year-old was ruled out for this Sunday's game versus the Texans on Friday after not practicing the entire week, and his second placement on IR will sideline him for the rest of the season. Linemen Max Mitchell or Billy Turner should see increased opportunities moving forward.
