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.

Schlottmann (lower leg) will begin rehabbing in early March and is expected to be fully healthy for the 2023 season, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Schlottmann underwent successful surgery in early January to repair a fractured fibula, and he's since shed his walking boot. Assuming he indeed is ready for the start of the season, he should compete for a depth role on the Vikings offensive line, if not a starting position.
