New York Giants face wide receiver roster changes

The New York Giants are facing roster adjustments following injuries and personnel changes. Veteran wide receiver Calvin Austin III has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL during practice. The injury occurred on a non-contact play, ending his 2026 season just before the regular season begins. Coach John Harbaugh noted that Austin had been performing well across offense and special teams, having recently demonstrated versatility in a preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.

In related roster news, the Giants have moved wide receiver Jalin Hyatt to the team’s practice squad after waiving him on Sunday. Hyatt, a former Biletnikoff Award winner at Tennessee, has seen declining usage since his rookie season. His move to the practice squad allows him to remain with the franchise and provides the possibility of being elevated to the active roster when needed.
