Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Austin appeared in his second consecutive game in the Saint's Week 11 win over the Browns, catching one of his two targets for 18 yards while playing 43 total snaps (39 offensive and four on special teams). The Notre Dame product played behind just Cedrick Wilson and Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Sunday, and he's expected to be elevated to the Saints' active roster again for the Week 13 matchup against Rams.
New Orleans elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. It's the second straight week that Austin has been elevated from the practice squad. He played 29 snaps (25 on offense, four on special teams) in Week 10 against Atlanta, during which he caught both of his targets for 36 yards. Austin could see similar usage against the Browns on Sunday if Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) is unable to play.
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. The wide receiver played on 26 offensive snaps and caught two passes for 36 yards in the Saints' 20-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday. Austin also played four snaps on special teams in his first NFL regular-season appearance. With New Orleans' wide receiving corps decimated by injuries, only Mason Tipton and Marquez Valdes-Scantling played on more offensive snaps than Austin in the game, but Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) may be available to return next week.
The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Austin and fellow practice squad wide receiver Dante Pettis will be on the Saints' active roster for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both will provide depth at wideout due to Chris Olave (concussion) and Bub Means (ankle) being on injured reserve and Cedrick Wilson (shoulder) ruled out. Austin opted to stay in New Orleans on the practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
Austin signed with the Saints' practice squad Wednesday. Austin was unable to crack New Orleans' final 53-man roster, but he'll now have the opportunity to stick with the franchise and develop from their practice squad.
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.
The Saints signed Austin to a one-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Austin is still looking for a chance to make his NFL debut after spending the 2022 campaign on the Jaguars' practice squad. He'll now get a chance to spend training camp competing for a reserve role in New Orleans' wide receiver room.
