Austin's status for Cowboys uncertain with hamstring injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin was held out of Thursday's joint practice with the Chargers with a hamstring injury, leaving his status for Sunday's preseason game against San Diego uncertain.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett doesn't consider the injury serious, according to *The Dallas Morning News*, but he wouldn't say if Austin will be able to play against the Chargers.

"We just have to see day-to-day," Garrett said. "We didn't think it was smart to have him go out and practice today. We'll see how he responds to the treatment this afternoon."

With Austin held out, Kevin Ogletree worked with Dez Bryant on the first-team offense, with backup Jesse Holley working as the No. 3 receiver, according to the team's official website.

Backup quarterback Jon Kitna, who had missed two days of practice with a back injury, returned Thursday, per multiple reports.
