In 2011, he was projected to start at right guard again, but suffered an injured right hip consisting of a
hip impingement (a
bone spur in his
femur that tore his hip
cartilage) during practice. He spent the season on the
injured reserve list, and had hip surgery in September 2011.
In the Giants' third preseason game against the
New York Jets, Schwartz suffered a broken toe and missed the first eleven weeks of the regular season. After his return, he started against the
Dallas Cowboys and
Jacksonville Jaguars. In the game against the Jaguars, he suffered a broken ankle and was ruled out for the rest of the season.
On November 29, 2015, Schwartz sustained a broken left leg in the Week 12 loss to the Washington Redskins. During the
2015 season, Schwartz started 11 games at guard for the Giants before missing the final five games due to injury. On December 1, 2015, Schwartz was placed on season-ending injured reserve.
