Schmitz suffered a concussion during training camp practice on 2026-08-10 and is working through concussion protocol. He enters the season under pressure after struggling in 2025 (ranked 29th among eligible centers by PFF with a 60.8 grade). Under new head coach John Harbaugh, his status as the starter is not assured; poor performance could result in losing the job to backup Bryan Hudson.
