Designated to return The Giants designated Schlottmann (lower leg) off injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Suffers broken fibula Wednesday The Giants placed Schlottmann (leg) on the reserve/injured list Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schlottmann suffered a broken fibula when he got rolled up during practice Wednesday, and while he won't need surgery, he's expected to be out for 8-to-10 weeks, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Schlottmann fractured his fibula in Week 17 of the 2022 season, but he was healthy for training camp and appeared in nine regular-season games (including three starts) for the Vikings in 2023. The timeline for his recovery would slate his return for late October or early November.

Re-ups with Minnesota Schlottman (lower leg) re-signed with the Vikings on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Impact Schlottman will return to Minnesota after starting four games for the team last season. He fractured his fibula in January and is still recovering after having the injury surgically repaired.

Making progress in recovery Schlottmann (lower leg) will begin rehabbing in early March and is expected to be fully healthy for the 2023 season, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact Schlottmann underwent successful surgery in early January to repair a fractured fibula, and he's since shed his walking boot. Assuming he indeed is ready for the start of the season, he should compete for a depth role on the Vikings offensive line, if not a starting position.

Scheduled for surgery Schlottmann, who was placed on IR on Tuesday, will require surgery to repair a fractured fibula suffered in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Schlottmann's move to IR essentially ended his season, although he'd technically be eligible to be activated if the Vikings were to make it to the Super Bowl. However, the 27-year-old will likely focus on recovering over the next several weeks and preparing to return healthy next season. With Garrett Bradbury (back) also ailing, the Vikings are down their top options at center and have turned to veteran Greg Mancz, who was signed Tuesday, to likely take over the position.

Bound for injured reserve The Vikings placed Schlottmann (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday, Carmen Vitali of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Schlottmann, who suffered a fractured fibula in Sunday's loss the Packers, has since moved to Minnesota's injured reserve and he'll now miss at least the next four matchups. Although it sounds unlikely the 300-pounder will be available for the Super Bowl should the Vikings make a deep postseason run, the team signed veteran center Greg Mancz to its active roster Tuesday, while usual starter Garrett Bradbury (back) could be back come playoff time.

Impact Schlottman started at center in place of center Garrett Bradbury (back) in Week 17, but the backup offensive lineman was quickly deemed out after being carted to the locker room early in the first quarter, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
