The Facts:
The Cowboys do not believe Austin's strained hamstring is as serious as the hamstring injuries that have limited the wide receiver in each of the past two seasons, a source told ESPN.com.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Cowboys will be cautious this week with Austin, who suffered the injury in Sunday's 31-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams, and will see how he feels Wednesday before determining if he will practice. Austin missed six games in 2011 and was limited at times last season despite playing in every game. Austin strained his left hamstring in the third quarter Sunday on a deep throw from Tony Romo. After the game, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said Austin could have returned if the Rams had come back. Dallas had a 24-0 lead at the time of the injury. If Austin cannot play next Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, rookie Terrance Williams would move into the starting lineup and Dwayne Harris would assume the No. 3 role.
