Calvin Austin III - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Feeling good, ready soon Austin (foot) said Monday that he's "feeling great" and is just "waiting for coach [Mike] Tomlin's word" to return to practice, Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact It sounds like the rookie hopes to play in Pittsburgh's preseason finale Sunday against Detroit after missing the first two exhibitions. Austin isn't likely to get many snaps Week 1 but could still make a bid for the No. 4 receiver spot behind Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and George Pickens.

Impact The rookie fourth-round pick missed Pittsburgh's preseason opener with a foot injury. He was spotted with a walking boot thereafter and hasn't yet returned to practice.

NFL odds: Mid-Round receivers that can contend for OROY

Using walking boot Austin has a walking boot on his injured left foot, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Impact With Anthony Miller (shoulder) out for the season and a number of other wide receivers banged up, Pittsburgh enters Week 2 of the preseason looking awfully thin at the position. Austin doesn't seem likely to play this Sunday against Jacksonville, though it isn't yet clear how serious his foot injury might be. The rookie fourth-round pick should be in the mix for the fourth or fifth WR spot behind Diontae Johnson (hip), Chase Claypool (shoulder) and fellow rookie George Pickens.

Dealing with foot issue Coach Mike Tomlin said Austin didn't play in Saturday's preseason win versus the Seahawks due to a foot injury, Adam H. Beasley of Pro Football Network reports.

Impact The Steelers' top wide receiver duo of Diontae Johnson (hip) and Chase Claypool (shoulder) didn't suit up due to their injuries, and Austin and Anthony Miller (shoulder) joined them on the sideline. Tomlin told Teresa Varley of the team's official site that Austin picked up his issue at practice Friday, but he expects to have the rookie fourth-round pick "get back to us sooner rather than later." Whether or not Austin progresses enough to play next Sunday in Jacksonville remains to be seen.

Steel City bound The Steelers selected Austin in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 138th overall.

Impact Pittsburgh goes back to the well at receiver after taking Georgia's George Pickens on Friday. Austin is a different type of receiver; at just under 5-foot-8 and 170 pounds, Austin would not be in consideration if not for his athleticism and production at Memphis. He ran a blazing 4.32 in the 40 at the combine and jumped out of the gym with a 39-inch vertical and a 135-inch broad jump. Despite his size, Austin was an outside receiver at Memphis and recorded two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh deploys him because his speed is unlike anything the other Steelers receivers offer.
