New York Giants WR Calvin Austin III will miss the upcoming campaign after sustaining a torn ACL in his right knee while running a route yesterday during training camp practice.<\/p>\n
Calvin, who is 27 years old, inked with the Giants this summer after spending the 1st<\/sup> 4 seasons of his career in the league with the Steelers. The WR had 31 catches for 372 yards with 3 TDs in the past campaign.<\/p>\n He crumpled to the ground during a 1-on-1 drill while running step for step with CB Deonte Banks. Austin immediately grabbed his right knee as everyone realized that he had suffered a serious injury.<\/p>\n His team\u2019s trainers swiftly called for a cart. His teammates all came over to wish him well before Austin was carted off.<\/p>\n Calvin was inked by the franchise from the Big Apple to a 1-campaign contract a few months ago as a free agent. Austin was going to play a significant role in the organization\u2019s offense as their slot receiver, but now he won\u2019t be able to play at all.<\/p>\n #Giants<\/a> WR Calvin Austin III suffered a major knee injury during Tuesday\u2019s practice that includes a torn ACL and will sideline him for the entire 2026 NFL season.<\/p>\n Austin signed a 1-year, $1.5M prove-it deal this offseason and was poised to have a role in New York\u2019s offense. pic.twitter.com\/T5zdqkgeM7<\/a><\/p>\n — Ari Meirov (@MySportsUpdate) August 26, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \n
