## 2026 Outlook

Calvin Austin III suffered a torn ACL during practice on Tuesday, August 26, and has been ruled out for the entire 2026 NFL season. The injury occurred while running a route in 1-on-1 drills. Austin was expected to compete for the starting slot wide receiver role with the Giants, but this season-ending ACL tear eliminates him from 2026 consideration. The 27-year-old was in a contract year, making this injury particularly damaging from both team and player perspectives (per NFL news, live updates: Bucs first-round pick dealing with AC joint injury; Ja'Marr Chase 'fine' after 'little hyperextension' of his knee - Yahoo Sports).
