IRVING — [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Dallas [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Cowboys[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] wide receiver Miles Austin could be out two weeks and maybe longer after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's game against the Washington [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Commanders[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR], a source said Tuesday.
Austin caught two passes for 26 yards and was a crucial contributor down the stretch, when he seemingly supplanted Patrick Crayton as the team's third receiver.
Crayton went from No. 2 to No. 3 earlier in the week when the Cowboys inserted newcomer Roy Williams into the starting lineup. The decision to use Austin in the three-receiver set along with Williams and [COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Terrell [/FONT][COLOR=blue! important][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Owens[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] was a package to get the team's three fastest receivers on the field rather than another demotion for Crayton, coach Wade Phillips has said.
Phillips said the Cowboys like Crayton's ability to play in the slot and that he will continue to be a big part of the offense.
Phillips said everybody will get their chances.
"We've got to get a package for all the guys," Phillips said. "It's like Christmas. We've got a lot of packages."
At least one package is on hold with Austin out with a knee injury.
Owens caught five passes for 38 yards against the Commanders. Williams caught three for 36 yards and Crayton was catchless for the second time this season.
