Miles Austin tweaked his hamstring in Saturday’s practice but it appears to be minor. “He’s fine,” said Stephen Jones, the team’s executive vice president. “We’ve just got to be careful.” Austin missed six games last season as he worked through hamstring issues. He missed two games in the first month of the season due to his left hamstring and missed four consecutive games later in the season because of his right hamstring. Will the Cowboys be more careful with him than they are with other players given his medical chart? “No, I think it’s everybody,” Jones said. “I mean, people tighten up and you have to be responsive to it. We’re here for the long haul, not to rush him through a deal that then becomes worse.”
