Giants receiver Calvin Austin is out for the season with a torn ACL, AP source says
The New York Giants will be without receiver Calvin Austin for the entire season due to a torn ACL, according to an AP source. The 27-year-old was expected to play a significant role on offense. Austin had a strong camp and preseason, making two catches for 24 yards in exhibition play and more in practice. Giants coach John Harbaugh praised Austin's performance, stating he was doing exceedingly well.
With Austin out, Darnell Mooney, signed as a free agent in March, took over on the first-team offense. Austin's absence could also create opportunities for Odell Beckham Jr. and punt returner Braxton Berrios on the roster.
