• Steelers' Calvin Austin: Catchless in Week 15

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Austin failed to reel in his only target and recorded nine yards on three punt returns during Monday's 28-15 win over the Dolphins. Austin was limited by a calf injury at practice late in the week, but he ultimately was able to play, failing to reel in a pass for the second time in three weeks. With the additions of Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in recent weeks, Austin's role on the offense has taken a hit, and he now has caught just one of five targets for 31 yards over the last three games.

• Steelers' Calvin Austin: Good to go for Week 15

  Austin (calf) does not have an injury designation for Monday's matchup against Miami. Austin was added to the injury report Friday, when he logged a limited practice session due to a calf issue. However, he was able to return to full participation Saturday and is clear to play on Monday Night Football. Austin has seen his offensive snap count trending down in recent weeks -- he hasn't been above 50 percent since Week 10 against the Chargers -- but he still figures to have a tangible role in the passing game while also working as Pittsburgh's primary punt returner.

• Steelers' Calvin Austin: Added to injury report Friday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Austin was limited in practice Friday due to a calf issue. Austin wasn't listed on the Steelers' initial Week 15 practice report, so it's possible he sustained a calf injury during Friday's session. Either way, the wideout's game status for Monday night's game against the Dolphins is set to be revealed Saturday. If Austin is limited or out versus Miami, Adam Thielen, Ben Skowronek (hand) and practice-squad member Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be candidates to log added snaps behind top WR DK Metcalf.

• Steelers' Calvin Austin: Makes four catches

  Austin recorded four receptions on five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Bears. After a quiet showing in Week 11, Austin rebounded to his more typical role. He has between five and seven targets in four of his last five games, though he's struggled to make an impact with that opportunity. Austin has been held to 40 receiving yards or less in all but two of his 10 contests and hasn't found the end zone since Week 3.

• Steelers' Calvin Austin: Minimal workload against Cincinnati

  11/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Austin secured his lone target for five yards during Sunday's 34-12 win over the Bengals. Austin had played at least 50 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps in his first seven appearances of the season, but he was on the field for just 29 percent during Sunday's comfortable victory. The 2022 fourth-rounder was held to single-digit receiving yards for the first time this year, but Pittsburgh was playing without QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) during the second half. Even if Austin's playing time bounces back down the stretch, he'll likely have limited fantasy upside as long as DK Metcalf remains healthy.
