Schweitzer was able to play through his calf injury in Week 13 versus the Falcons, so his absence Wednesday isn't particularly concerning quite yet. He'll look to return to the field for at least one of the team's final two practice sessions prior to Sunday's matchup with the Texans.
The offensive lineman was a full participant in practice Friday after participating on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday. Schweitzer should start at right guard.
After a full practice Friday, Schweitzer has been activated to the Jets' active roster ahead of Sunday's contest against the Falcons. The veteran offensive lineman is still listed as questionable, though, and if he's unable to suit up in Week 13, Max Mitchell is expected to get the nod at right guard.
Schweitzer injured his calf during the team's Week 8 win over the Giants returned to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The team will now have 21 days to officially activate the 2016 sixth-round pick off injured reserve.
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.
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.
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.
