CALVIN AUSTIN III NEWS

Catchless in Week 15 Austin failed to reel in his only target and recorded nine yards on three punt returns during Monday night's 28-15 win over the Dolphins.

Impact Austin was limited by a calf injury at practice late in the week, but he was ultimately able to play, failing to reel in a pass for the second time in three weeks. With the additions of Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in recent weeks, Austin's role on the offense has taken a hit, and he has now caught just one of five targets for 31 yards over the last three games.

Good to go for Week 15 Austin (calf) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Miami.

Impact Austin was added to the injury report Friday, when he logged a limited practice session due to a calf issue. However, he was able to return to full participation Saturday and is clear to play on Monday Night Football. Austin has seen his offensive snap count trending down in recent weeks -- he hasn't been above 50 percent since Week 10 against the Chargers -- but he still figures to have a tangible role in the passing game while also working as Pittsburgh's primary punt returner.

Added to injury report Friday Austin was limited in practice Friday due to a calf issue.

Impact Austin wasn't listed on the Steelers' initial Week 15 injury report, so it's possible he sustained a calf injury during Friday's session. Either way, the wideout's game status for Monday night's game against the Dolphins is set to be revealed Saturday. If Austin is limited or out versus Miami, Adam Thielen, Ben Skowronek (hand) and practice squad member Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be candidates to log added snaps behind top WR DK Metcalf.

Racks up 31 yards in win Austin secured one of two targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 27-22 win over the Ravens.

Impact Austin was held without a catch last week against Buffalo for the first time in the 2025 campaign, but he bounced back in Week 14 by logging a deep reception in the third quarter. The 2022 fourth-rounder has remained inconsistent this year, but he's recorded double-digit receiving yards in five of his last seven appearances, securing 17 of 19 targets for 170 yards during that time. However, he hasn't yet reached the end zone this year and has been held to two or fewer targets in three of his last four outings.

No catches against Buffalo Austin failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Bills.

Impact Austin has had limited production for most of the season, but Sunday's Week 13 loss marked the first time this year that he was held without a catch. Across 10 appearances this year, he's secured 26 of 44 targets for 278 yards and two touchdowns.

Makes four catches Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears.

Impact After a quiet showing in Week 11, Austin rebounded to his more typical role. He has between five and seven targets in four of his last five games, though he's struggled to make an impact with that opportunity. Austin has been held to 40 receiving yards or less in all but two of his 10 contests and hasn't found the end zone since Week 3.

Minimal workload against Cincinnati Austin secured his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals.

Impact Austin had played at least 50 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps in his first seven appearances of the season, but he was on the field for just 29 percent during Sunday's comfortable victory. The 2022 fourth-rounder was held to single-digit receiving yards for the first time this year, but Pittsburgh was playing without Aaron Rodgers during the second half. Even if Austin's playing time bounces back down the stretch, he'll likely have limited fantasy upside as long as DK Metcalf remains healthy.

Held to 14 yards Austin recorded two receptions on seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Austin tied DK Metcalf for the team lead in targets, also his highest mark of the season. However, the results didn't follow in a poor offensive showing from the Steelers. Austin had miscues of his own, including a dropped pass that was intercepted midway through the fourth quarter. Austin has earned at least six targets in each of three games since returning from a shoulder injury, though he has only 98 total yards in that span.

Impact Austin led the Steelers' pass catchers in receptions in yards, while tying Darnell Washington in targets. As is typically the case, he was targeted in short areas of the field, though he did manage gains of 18 and 14 yards primarily on yards after the catch. Austin is a key part of Pittsburgh's passing game, though he's reached 30 yards in only half of his six games, minimizing his fantasy impact.
