Key Points:
- Malik Nabers is expected to return to the Giants lineup for Week 1 after recovering from a torn ACL last season.
- Calvin Austin suffered a torn ACL during practice and will miss the entire season, impacting the Giants' wide receiver plans.
- Austin was signed as a free agent to replace Wan'Dale Robinson’s role alongside Nabers and Darius Slayton, but his injury may prompt the Giants to seek additional receivers.
- The Giants also signed Darnell Mooney, but Austin’s injury increases the likelihood of further additions to the receiving corps.
- Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances of making the Giants' roster have improved due to Austin’s injury, despite concerns about Beckham not playing special teams.
