The Giants designated Schlottmann (lower leg) off injured reserve Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports. Schlottmann was placed on injured reserve back in August but is now closer to making his return. He managed to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, and the team will now have 21 days to officially activate him.
The Giants placed Schlottmann (leg) on the reserve/injured list Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. 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.
