Calvin Austin IIIWRNYG
Austin arrived in New York as a free-agent signing from Pittsburgh, but his grip on a starting job may not last long. His role is secure only because Malik Nabers is still recovering from injury and is not ready to return; once Nabers is back, Austin becomes the odd man out. The Giants plan to reshape their receiver room with Nabers as Z receiver, Darius Slayton shifting inside to slot, and Malachi Fields elevated to X. Austin's starting job is tied directly to Nabers' recovery timeline, and his role is likely to shrink quickly.
