New York Giants starting center John Michael Schmitz missed his sixth straight practice on Sunday due to a shoulder injury. That makes it unlikely that Schmitz will do more than walk-throughs, if he does anything at all, during the padded joint practices Monday and Tuesday against the Detroit Lions.
Head coach Brian Daboll said that Schmitz is the “same” as he has been.
“Rehabbing. It’s getting better, just not ready to go,” Daboll said.
Schmitz was the Giants’ second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, selected with the hope he could anchor the middle of their offensive line after several years of shuffling at center.
