The Dallas Cowboys have a huge Week 5 match up this weekend against the undefeated Denver Broncos and it appears that they could be without one of their top offensive threats. After missing practice again on Friday, wide receiver Miles Austin is not expected to take the field.

Miles initially injured his hamstring during Week 3 against the St. Louis Rams and he has not seen the field since.

If Miles is on the sideline as is expected, rookie Terrance Williams will fill in opposite No. 1 wideout Dez Bryant, while Dwayne Harris fills in the slot role.

Dallas would obviously like to be at full strength for such a big match up, but they are used to working without Austin as his hamstrings have continuously been a concern throughout the course of the past few seasons.

Denver has looked like an unstoppable force throughout the first month of the regular season, so the Cowboys are facing an uphill battle if they want to deliver the first loss of the year to Peyton Manning and company.
