The season appears to be over for New York Giants offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, who left Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins with a left leg injury. It appears to be a serious one.

Schwartz is the third member of the Giants' starting offensive line to be out. They began the game missing center Weston Richburg (ankle) and guard Justin Pugh (concussion). The Giants have John Jerry at left guard, Dallas Reynolds at center and rookie seventh-round pick Bobby Hart at right guard.
Schwartz played in only two games last season, suffering a toe injury that landed him on short-term IR and then a broken ankle. He is in the second year of a four-year, $16.8 million contract
The only remaining offensive lineman on the bench for the Giants is Emmett Cleary.
Updates
Schwartz is holding out hope this his season isn't over.
Fracture is an ugly word. Might not be season ending. I hope not. We will see. https://t.co/uCqczSGHHE
