The 31-year-old caught three touchdowns last season and was the team's top slot receiver. Backup wide receivers include Malachi Fields, Odell Beckham Jr., and Dalen Cambre, among others. Austin's injury means he will not be available for the Giants' preseason finale against the New York Jets on Friday or their regular season opener on September 13 against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.",
