Calvin Austin III’s situation grows more mysterious by the day. At first Tomlin labeled it a minor day-to-day issue, but his language has grown more vague by the day. Tomlin declined to say much about Austin ahead of Saturday’s preseason game. He was unwilling to rule any injured players out with plenty of time to get healthy over the next 48 hours.
According to Ray Fittipaldo, Austin will not only miss this Saturday’s preseason game, but next Thursday’s preseason finale as well.
“Calvin Austin’s injury is something to watch. He’s not gonna play in Thursday’s game either,” Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo said via 93.
