<p>Schwartz gets good news after visit to foot specialist.</p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigblueview.com/">New York Giants</a> announced Tuesday morning that starting offensive guard <span>Geoff Schwartz</span> will not need surgery for his dislocated toe. Schwartz will be in a walking boot for 7-10 days and will then begin rehab. He will be-re-evaluated on a week-to-week basis after that. Schwartz was evaluated Monday by Dr. Robert Anderson.</p>
<p>"This is just a minor setback," said Schwartz in a statement released by the team. "I plan on attacking the rehab program so I can get back on the field as soon as possible with my teammates and help us win games."</p>
<p>Schwartz, signed to a four-year, $16.8 million contract in the offseason, had been the team's starting left guard. He was injured Friday night vs. the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a>.</p>
<p>In his place rookie second-round pick <span>Weston Richburg</span> has moved in at left guard.</p>
<p>The Giants had feared that Schwartz might be lost for a significant period of time. The team's announcement Tuesday gave no indication of a potential return date, but it seems possible Schwartz could be back on the field within a few weeks. That, of course, is good news for an offensive line that can use the help.</p>

<p>The injury to Schwartz will leave the Giants scrambling not only for a starting offensive line, but to figure out who the backups will be.</p>

<p>Coughlin said that until Schwartz visits Dr. Anderson "there is nothing I can say."</p>
<p>"Losing Geoff is a major disappointment," Coughlin said. "Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's see when the evaluation is completed what the length of time is."</p>
<p>When Schwartz was injured Friday night rookie <span>Weston Richburg</span> replaced him at left guard. Coughlin mentioned both Richburg and <span>John Jerry</span> as options to start at guard in Schwartz's place.</p>
<p>"We continue. We've done various experiments with people at different spots," Coughlin said. "We'll just continue to operate in that fashion."</p>
<p>Coughlin said Richburg "did OK last night."</p>
<p>"He did OK last night. He’s a talented young man who is in a position where he’s going to have to help us."</p>
<p>The shoulder injury Harris suffered could impact whether or not he makes the final roster.</p>
<h4>Odell Beckham Update</h4>
<p>Coughlin said he has no idea if the rookie wide receiver will practice this week, but "they say progress is being made." The Giants first-round pick has yet to play in the preseason.</p>
