Schmitz (shoulder) participated in practice Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. 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.
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Schmitz (shoulder) won't practice Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports. 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.
Schmitz is participating in drills during OTAs. Schmitz missed the last game of the Giants' 2023 season with a shin injury, but as of now it looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the 2024 campaign. He figures to start at center this year.
