Miles Austin Injury: Updates on Cowboys Star's Week 3 Status

Miles Austin was one of the numerous Dallas Cowboys to suffer an injury in their 27-24 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers.

Tony Romo and Felix Jones were two other starters at key positions to go down as well during the game and the team will have a very busy day this Monday on the medical front.

According to ESPNDallas, Austin re-aggravated his hamstring, which was bothering him all preseason and nearly kept him from playing in their first game against the NY Jets.

It seems that, as of Monday, 10:30 a.m. ET, his Week 3 status is in doubt because of the pulled hamstring.

CBS Sports’ Josh Katzowitz reported,

"

The injuries, for the team, could be devastating. Without Jones, the team won’t have its No. 1 running back, and without Austin—who could be out until Dallas’ bye week in October—the team will miss a big-play receiver who caught three touchdowns Sunday.

"

Dallas’ bye week is the second week of October and the team has important games against their divisional rivals, the Washington Redskins, as well as the upstart Detroit Lions in the two weeks before it.

Austin will be re-evaluated today and I will keep you updated as the latest news breaks on the Cowboys’ star WR and his hamstring injury as it breaks.

UPDATE 1:00 p.m. EST

Still no news on the Miles Austin injury front. The latest insider report was from Chris Mortensen last night via Twitter. Hopefully the team releases more information soon.

 

UPDATE 3:00 p.m. EST
