Plays eight games in 2024
Austin collected 11 of 22 targets for 151 yards across eight regular-season appearances for the Saints in 2024.
Analysis: Austin started the regular season on New Orleans' practice squad and didn't see the field until being called into action Week 10. He went on to play in the final eight games of the regular season, as the Saints' receiving corps was extremely depleted while wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) were sidelined for the final nine and 11 games of the season, respectively. Austin played at least half of the offensive snaps in all but one of his eight appearances, but he never…read more

Unable to cash in on five targets
Austin logged 44 of the Saints' 68 snaps on offense and recorded one catch for five yards on five targets in Sunday's 14-11 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Austin has handled snap shares north of 60 percent in each of the Saints' last three games, essentially making him the team's No. 2 wideout during that time. Despite seeing steady playing time, Austin hasn't made much of an imprint on the box score, producing a 5-54-0 receiving line on 10 targets to go with nine rushing yards during that stretch.

Signed to Saints' active roster
New Orleans signed Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
Analysis: Austin had been elevated from the practice squad for the Saints' last three games due to multiple injuries to the wide receiver corps. Over that span, Austin caught six passes (on seven targets) for 85 yards, and he saw his snap count on offense steadily increase. Austin will likely be on the field in three-wideout sets alongside Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Cedrick Wilson for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Goes back to practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Due to injury woes in New Orleans' receiving corps, Austin has been a regular in the offense the past three games, including Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Rams, when he hauled in all three targets for 31 yards and recorded a nine-yard carry. He also ranked second in snaps (43 of 70) among the team's healthy wide receivers behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling (53, 2-36-1 line on three targets). Considering the Saints have used the maximum three elevations on Austin, he'll need to be signed to the active…read more

Elevated for Week 13
The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Matthew Paras of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: It's the third and final time the Saints are allowed to elevate Austin from the practice squad this season. The 24-year-old wideout played in the two games prior to the Saints' Week 12 bye, catching three passes on four targets for 54 yards over that span.

Reverts Monday
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: 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.

Elevated from practice squad
New Orleans elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.

Reverts to practice squad
Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: 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-receiver 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 able to return in Week 11.

Elevated for Week 10
The Saints elevated Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: 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.

Cut by New Orleans
The Saints waived Austin on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Gets cut loose
Austin was waived by the Jaguars on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Austin spent 2022 on the team's practice squad after going undrafted out of Notre Dame. He was brought back on a reserve/future deal he signed in January, but he once again was not able to crack the team's 53-man roster. Although he could end up back on the team's practice squad, he also now has the chance to pursue opportunities with other teams.
