FWST: Austin has no doubt he will play in opener; Ratliff on crutches

[WoodysGirl]

-- Charean Williams

Receiver Miles Austin gave the expected answer when asked if he has any doubt he will play in the season opener.

"No," Austin said.

Defensive tackle Jay Ratliff's status for the game against the Giants on Sept. 5 is more in doubt. He is not in a boot but is on crutches while hoping his high-ankle sprain will heal quickly. Ratliff attended the team's kickoff luncheon but did not participate in the introductory walk across the field to the head table.

Hopefully Austin will play more than one series before retweaking his hamstring. After being dogged by this stuff I dont know how he hasnt found someone to help him avoid them.

He did admit to some doubt on his status for week 2 though.

Then he will proceed to drop the first pass thrown his way then smile all the way back to the huddle.

Is Rat's HA sprain on the side as his planter fasciitis?
