Giants' Calvin Austin: On track for No. 3 role
Austin looks to be the Giants' top slot receiver, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.
Duggan relays that Austin was a standout at the offseason program but hasn't carried his early momentum to the start of training camp. That might be expected for one of the smallest players in the league, but Austin nonetheless appears on track for a Week 1 role, regularly taking slot reps with the starters. The Giants will frequently use a fullback and/or multiple tight ends on early downs, so the No. 3 WR role might only amount to a few targets per week.

Giants' Calvin Austin: Jostling for opportunities at WR
Austin is competing for playing time in a Giants wide-receiver room that also includes Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (abdomen), Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Odell Beckham, Alex Smith of SNY.tv reports.
Austin appears to be running ahead of at least Smith-Schuster and Beckham, both of whom were brought in to bolster the team's wide-receiver depth in camp while Nabers and Slayton are sidelined. Mooney is expected to play primarily in the slot and Fields is a rookie third-round pick, so Austin has a clear path to playing time early in the season if Nabers takes time to ramp up in his recovery from a torn ACL that was surgically repaired Oct. 28.

Giants' Calvin Austin: Signs one-year pact with G-Men
The Giants signed Austin to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
It's a nice landing spot for Austin, in the sense there isn't a whole lot of proven competition at the wide receiver spot behind Malik Nabers (knee), as Austin looks like a current favorite to be part of the team's three-wide set alongside Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton after Wan'Dale Robinson left in free agency. Austin failed to gel with Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh last season, securing just 31 of 55 targets for 372 yards and three touchdowns across 14 regular-season appearances. Austin averaged 15.2 yards per catch in 2024 and offers theoretical big-play potential.

Steelers' Calvin Austin: Quiet in playoff loss
Austin brought in three of six targets for eight yards and returned one punt for 14 yards in the Steelers' 30-6 wild-card loss to the Texans on Monday night.
Austin's receiving line underscores how suffocating the Texans defense was overall, on a night when Aaron Rodgers was sacked four times and threw for only 146 yards. Austin recorded 31 receptions for 372 yards and three touchdowns on 55 targets across 14 regular-season games in 2025, adding 15 punt returns for 101 yards. The 2022 fourth-round pick is slated to hit unrestricted free agency at the start of the new league year, and given his unremarkable body of work over his first four seasons, it's likely the Steelers allow him to explore the open market.

Steelers' Calvin Austin: Scores huge late TD
Austin had three receptions on seven targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Ravens.
Austin played the role of hero sans WR DK Metcalf (suspension) in Week 18 when he took advantage of a slip to the turf by Ravens cornerback Chidobe Awuzie in the final minute of regulation for the game-winning touchdown grab. The 26-year-old Austin was held to one reception for eight yards filling in for Metcalf last week, so this performance truly came from out of nowhere. Austin finishes the regular season with a 31-372-3 receiving line in 14 games, numbers that were good enough to register only with those playing in deeper fantasy formats. With Metcalf returning to action in the wild-card round of the playoffs, Austin possesses minimal upside for next Monday's tilt against the Texans.

Steelers' Calvin Austin: Ready for Sunday night
Austin (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday night's regular-season finale against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Austin injured his hamstring Week 16 versus the Lions and subsequentially sat out Week 17, but he'll return to action to face Baltimore with the AFC North title on the line Sunday. With DK Metcalf (suspension) ruled out for one more game, Austin appears set to operate as the No. 1 wide receiver for veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers, with a combination of Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller, Ben Skowronek, Roman Wilson and potentially also practice-squad member Brandon Johnson contributing behind him. At tight end, with Darnell Washington (forearm) having been placed on IR, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith are in position to split the majority of opportunities.
