Giants Offense Rocked by Brutal Season-Ending Injury News
With Malik Nabers' return still up in the air, the New York Giants lost another key WR to a season-ending ACL injury.
The New York Giants face a devastating blow to their offense as two star wide receivers suffer season-ending ACL injuries. Malik Nabers, already struggling to recover from a devastating ACL injury from last season, went down yet again in practice this week with the same injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that free-agent addition Calvin Austin III also suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Tuesday's practice, making him unavailable for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Austin, a 27-year-old addition to the Giants' roster, was expected to play a pivotal role in the team's offensive scheme under coordinator Matt Nagy. Austin amassed 84 catches, 1,100 yards, and eight touchdowns in 48 games during his three-year tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The injury hits the Giants especially hard as they also lost wide receiver Wandale Robison, who led the team with 92 catches, 1,014 yards, and four touchdowns last season.
With Nabers' uncertain recovery timeline and Austin's absence, the Giants' wide receiver depth chart now consists of Darnell Mooney, Darius Slayton, and rookie Malachi Fields at the top.
