After catching 194 passes with the Rams over the first five seasons, Austin has only caught 50 total passes over the last four years.

The 32-year-old has also been a solid punt returner throughout his nine-year career, including finishing fifth in the NFL in 2014, averaging 11.5 yards per-return. However, he's only returned a total of five punts over the last two seasons.
