STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Austin's starting role is temporary and will shrink once Nabers returns from injury.

Calvin Austin III arrived in New York as a free-agent signing from Pittsburgh, but his grip on a starting job may not last long. His role is secure only because Malik Nabers is still recovering from injury and is not ready to return; Nabers is unlikely to suit up for Week 1. Once Nabers returns, the Giants have a clear path to reshaping their receiver room, with Malachi Fields elevated to the X receiver position. Austin becomes the odd man out in the long-term receiver structure. The source advises caution, noting his early-season opportunity is temporary and his role is likely to shrink quickly.
