Calvin Austin injury: Giants WR out for season with torn ACL

Giants WR Calvin Austin suffered a season-ending torn ACL during practice on Tuesday, Adam Schefter reported.

Contract year opportunity lost

Austin was in a contract year and primed to replace former Giants WR Wandale Robinson. The torn ACL ends his season before it began and eliminates what was shaping up as a significant opportunity within the Giants' receiver room.

What this means for your roster

Calvin Austin is unavailable for the entire season. Drop him from your active roster immediately if you are rostering him in redraft. Dynasty managers should evaluate whether to hold through the injury based on your timeline and league settings, but he will not contribute this year. Monitor the Giants' receiver depth chart for who gains opportunity from his absence.
