Schmitz (shin) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Schmitz will be sidelined for his second game this season in Week 10 because of a shin injury he suffered in Week 9 versus the 49ers. In his absence, veteran Austin Schlottmann figures to start at center Sunday.

O'Connor (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

O'Connor was unable to practice all week due to a knee injury, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16. He's mostly served on special teams this season, but his absence opens the door for Mekhi Wingo and Quinton Jefferson to see more rotational snaps at defensive tackle.

Bredeson (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bredeson popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a shoulder injury. He avoided an injury tag for Week 10 after logging a full practice Friday, and he's expected to start at left guard Sunday.

Golston (neck) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Golston will miss his fourth straight game due to a lingering neck injury in Week 10. Most of his snaps so far this year have come on special teams, so the Giants will have to try to find a way to replicate his production in that phase.

Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Robinson will miss a second consecutive game due to a high-ankle sprain, which has also prevented him from practicing since sustaining the injury against the Ravens in Week 8. Austin Booker should continue to see a heavier workload at defensive end in Robinson's absence.

Flannigan-Fowles (pectoral) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Chicago, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Flannigan-Fowles was added to the Giants' injury report Thursday with a pectoral issue, but it looks like he'll be healthy for game action in Week 10. With Darius Muasau (ankle) out, Flannigan-Fowles projects for an expanded role at linebacker against the Bears on Sunday.

Robinson (concussion) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Chris Perkins of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Per Perkins, coach Mike McDaniel said Friday, "I'm prepared for him not to play, but not ruling it out." Further hurting Robinson's chances is the fact that he'll need to clear league concussion protocol to be eligible to suit up in Week 10. If Robinson is indeed sidelined, veteran Matthew Judon would figure as a candidate to start on the edge opposite Bradley Chubb.

Williams (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at San Francisco, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

Williams sat out Week 9 versus the Saints due to a shoulder injury, but he's now in line to return to the field in Week 10. He projects to start Sunday against a ragtag 49ers wide receiver group led by Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne.

Chubb (foot) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Chubb was limited at practice by a foot issue Wednesday and Thursday, but he was able to manage a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend. He may have relatively few opportunities to rush the passer Sunday versus the Bills, who currently sport the most run-heavy offense in football.

Williams (foot) was a limited participant at practice Friday.

Williams missed practice Thursday with a foot injury, so his activity Friday represents a step in the right direction ahead of Monday's game versus the Eagles. Even so, he'll likely have to practice in full Saturday to avoid getting tagged with an injury designation when Green Bay publishes its last practice report of the week.
