Report: Cowboys WR Miles Austin could be out through week 5

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Dallas Cowboys are worried that wide receiver Miles Austin @MilesAustinIII might not play until after the team's week-five bye. During the fourth quarter of yesterday's win over San Francisco, Austin re-injured the hamstring that bothered him during the preseason. He didn't play in the overtime period and will be re-evaluated probably today.

Fantasy Analysis:

Well, at least Austin got hurt after providing his fantasy owners with a monster stat line: nine catches, 143 yards, three touchdowns. As we've seen so very often, hamstring injuries are deliciate matters. It's easy to re-aggravate them and that's apparently what happened to Austin yesterday. If he has to miss next Monday's game versus Washington, expect Kevin Ogletree @KOforPrez and Jesse Holley @Mr4thAndLong to see more targets. Of course, Dez Bryant has a quad injury that kept him out of yesterday's game, but I think he'll play in week 3.
