Coach Urban Meyer said Tuesday that Austin (quad) should be good to go for the Sept. 12 season opener, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Austin injured his quadriceps during Friday's practice, but it does not appear to be too serious. The Jaguars only kept five wideouts on their initial 53-man roster, so it is likely that Austin will play a prominent role in the offense. The 31-year-old speedster spent time with the 49ers and Packers last season, and only appeared in four games, catching five passes for 20 yards.

Austin suffered a quadriceps strain at Friday's practice and is day-to-day, Jamal St. Cyr of News4JAX reports.
EDGE Analysis
Austin will likely miss Sunday's preseason finale against the Cowboys due to his injury, but a day-to-day timetable means he could be healthy in time for the regular-season opener against Houston on Sept. 12. With rookie first-round pick Travis Etienne (foot) done for the season, there could be more opportunities for Austin to earn offensive touches.

Austin is signing with the Jaguars, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Jags are dealing with some WR injuries, but it's nonetheless an unusual fit for Austin, as the team already has a pair of return specialists in Jamal Agnew and Pharoh Cooper. The 31-year-old Austin will face long odds to make the Week 1 roster.

Austin recorded five receptions for 20 yards and returned three punts for 14 yards over four games with the Packers in 2020.
EDGE Analysis
Austin spent the early portion of the season with the 49ers and did not join Green Bay until late November, so he did not have much of an opportunity to play anything other than a minor role. The eight-year veteran figures to get a look somewhere this summer, but it remains to be seen if that will be with the Packers or another squad.

Austin caught one pass for seven yards and lost a fumble while returning a punt in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Austin's most notable impact on Sunday's game was a negative play, as his first-quarter fumble gave the Bears the ball on the Packers' 20-yard line. Despite the mishap, Austin figures to continue serving as both the Packers' punt returner and a gadget player on offense unless Tyler Ervin (foot) returns to action.

Austin caught both his targets for five yards in Sunday's victory over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Austin did not do much of note in Sunday's contest, but he did receive 17 snaps after playing just four snaps in each of his first two appearances with the Packers. Austin does not figure to play much more than he did Sunday, but he should continue getting a few snaps per week to give opposing defenses one more thing to think about.

Austin was not targeted in Saturday's victory over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Austin caught a couple passes in his Packers debut in Week 14, but he did not touch the ball on offense and was limited to punt-return duties in Saturday's contest. It's unlikely Austin's role will change much in Week 16, as the Packers will presumably rely on their longer-tenured players as they attempt to lock up the top seed in the NFC.

Austin caught both of his targets for eight receiving yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions. He also returned one punt for two yards.
EDGE Analysis
Austin saw his first action since signing with Green Bay in late November, and although he was on the field for just four of the 67 plays the Packers' offense ran, he was the primary option on a couple of them. The Packers figure to continue exploring ways to get Austin the ball, but don't expect a major increase in snaps or touches in the team's Week 15 matchup with the Panthers.

Austin is officially active for Sunday's game at Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was a healthy scratch for his first game with the team last week, but he'll be suiting up Sunday with Tyler Ervin (ribs) on injured reserve. Austin is expected to take over return duties and could also have a minor role in the offense.

Austin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Austin signed with Green Bay this week, but he won't be on the field after his first week of practice. Tyler Ervin (ribs) is active and will handle return duties this week after missing the past two games.
