- Austin signed a 1-year, $1.5 million contract with the Giants this offseason and was a projected starter alongside Pro Bowler Malik Nabers after four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- Owner John Mara walked onto the side field to console Austin, while teammates huddled in prayer and a source told ESPN the injury "didn't look good."
- Braxton Berrios assumed the slot receiver role with the first-team offense, and Odell Beckham had his most productive camp day on Tuesday following the opening.
- Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said "It would be a blow," but the Giants maintain positivity, emphasizing the next player must step up to fill the void.
