The Saints waived Austin on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Austin spent training camp and the preseason with New Orleans after signing in late July. The third-year wideout spent most of the previous two years in Jacksonville and has yet to appear in a regular-season NFL game. This preseason, Austin recorded a 2-18-0 receiving line across 97 offensive snaps.
