Giants' Calvin Austin: Officially moves to IR
The Giants placed Austin (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.
After being carted off the field at Tuesday's practice due to an apparent right knee injury, Austin was diagnosed with a torn ACL, ensuring he'll miss the entire 2026 campaign. Odell Beckham, Braxton Berrios (undisclosed), Jalin Hyatt (leg) and Isaiah Hodgins will continue to battle for the last one or two spots at wide receiver on the Giants' active roster.

Giants' Calvin Austin: Tears ACL, out for season
Austin is expected to miss the 2026 season after he sustained a torn ACL in his right knee while running a route during Tuesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
The Giants were fearful that Austin went down with a serious injury when he needed to be carted off the field Tuesday, and follow-up tests have indeed confirmed structural damage to his knee. After signing a one-year deal with the Giants in March, Austin appeared to have the inside track to serve as the team's third wideout, but his absence for all of 2026 will open up some opportunities for players such as Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields and Odell Beckham. The 27-year-old will head back into free agency next offseason and could draw limited interest while he works his way back from major knee surgery.

Giants' Calvin Austin: Carted off with knee injury Tuesday
Austin was carted off the field at Tuesday's practice with an apparent right knee injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
It's believed to be a "serious" knee injury for the wideout, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Austin crumbled to the ground in pain at the end of a route in 1-on-1 drills. Signed as a free agent over the offseason, Austin was expected to operate as the Giants' third wideout behind Malik Nabers and either Darnell Mooney or Darius Slayton this season. If Austin is dealing with a significant injury, Odell Beckham's chances of making the roster increase.

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.
