Miles Austin sits for second day in row

IRVING, Texas – Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin is sitting out his second straight practice Friday, but coach Jason Garrett said he did not suffer a setback in his return from a hamstring strain.
“Just watching him and seeing how he’s doing coming back off the injury and making sure we’re doing the right things and rest is part of the equation for him as it would be for anybody,” Garrett said.
Austin played last week against the Washington Redskins but did not have a catch after missing the previous two games. Austin ran some routes off to the side as the offense worked.
Defensive end DeMarcus Ware (quadriceps), defensive end Edgar Jones (groin), linebacker DeVonte Holloman (neck) and running backs DeMarco Murray (knee) and Lance Dunbar (hamstring) are not practicing.
Ware said he would be a game-time decision. Murray has held out hope he could play Sunday and was doing some running on the side during the portion of practice open to the media.
The Cowboys expect to fill their roster vacancy after practice. With Ware, George Selvie (shoulder) and Jason Hatcher (stinger) bothered by injury, defensive end Jason Vega would make the most sense to get called up from the practice squad.
