Wes Schweitzer - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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

Impact 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.

Placed on IR Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets will place Schweitzer (calf) on injured reserve.

Impact 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.

Exits game with calf injury Schweitzer (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Giants, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

Impact Schweitzer has appeared in 80 games in his career, seven of which came in 2022. He's played every position along the offensive line, the most recent of which were right guard and center as a member of the Commanders. As things currently stand, he's penciled in as the Jets' starting center.

Impact Schweitzer has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a concussion, but the Commanders now have 21 days to add the 29-year-old back onto the roster.

Out for Week 4 Schweitzer (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Dallas, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Schweitzer didn't practice Wednesday due to concussion protocols, but it's unclear when he suffered the injury or how long he may be sidelined. Chase Roullier (knee), the team's top center, remains on injured reserve, so in Schweitzer's absence, Nick Martin is expected draw the start in the middle of Washington's offensive line.
