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. 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.

New Orleans signed Austin from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports. 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.

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-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.
