Andrew Thomas and Matt Peart were both ruled out. Evan Neal is listed as questionable with an ankle issue. Down most of their starting line, the Giants are in a horrible spot versus the Commanders this week. Whether it’s Tyrod Taylor or Daniel Jones under center, expect the Washington pass-rush to get home early and often in Week 7.

According to reports, Schmitz is likely to miss another game but there is no fear that he will need to go on the IR. The rookie center injured himself in Week 4 against Seattle when the Giants tried their own version of the “Tush Push” or “Brotherly Shove,” and has been on the sideline since. Being without him and LT Andrew Thomas could be an issue against Washington’s fierce pass rush on Sunday.

The rookie center injured himself in Week 4 against Seattle when the Giants tried their own version of the “Tush Push” or “Brotherly Shove” or whatever you want to call it. With starting left tackle Andrew Thomas also not practicing on Wednesday, the Giants could be down two offensive linemen on Sunday against a Bills defense that ranks fourth in pressure rate and first in knockdowns, which is sacks plus quarterback hits. That could mean a long day for Daniel Jones or Tyrod Taylor under center.
