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

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Back on field for OTAs
Schweitzer (calf) was on the field for OTAs on Monday, per the Jets' official site.
Schweitzer landed on the IR twice last season due to a recurring calf injury, but he now appears to be fully recovered. The 2016 sixth-round pick has primarily spent his career at guard, but multiple injuries led to Schweitzer playing across the offensive line last season, including at center.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Deemed doubtful
Schweitzer (calf) is considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
Barring a quick turnaround, Schweitzer is not trending toward playing. With the Jets out of the playoff picture, that would mean he may have played his last game this season. Still, final confirmation on his status will be made closer to kickoff.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Designated to return from IR
The Jets designated Schweitzer (calf) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he was a limited participant in practice, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Schweitzer has had two stints on injured reserve this season due to a calf injury. The Jets have only one more game left this season and have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so Schweitzer's designation to return Wednesday may mean that the teams intends for him to suit up Sunday versus New England. If that happens, it would be just the seventh game he has played in the campaign.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Back on injured reserve
Schweitzer (calf) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Schweitzer was placed on injured reserve in late October with the same calf injury, but he was activated prior to Week 13 and played an entire outing against the Falcons. The 30-year-old was ruled out for this Sunday's game versus the Texans on Friday after not practicing the entire week, and his second placement on IR will sideline him for the rest of the season. Linemen Max Mitchell or Billy Turner should see increased opportunities moving forward.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Won't suit up Week 14
Schweitzer (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash with the Texans.
Schweitzer went on IR at the end of October due to the calf issue, but he was able to make his return this past Sunday versus Atlanta. However, he appears to have aggravated the injury, as he wasn't able to practice at all this week. With Schweitzer ruled out for Sunday, Max Mitchell or Billy Turner could see an increased role.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Misses practice Wednesday
Schweitzer (calf) was a nonparticipant at the Jets' practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Activated Saturday
New York activated Schweitzer (calf) off injured reserve Saturday.
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.

Jets' Wes Schweitzer: Placed on IR
Head coach Robert Saleh said Monday that the Jets will place Schweitzer (calf) on 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.

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