Wade Won't Say If Austin Earned Starting Spot

IRVING (AP) ― Cowboys receiver Miles Austin has earned more work following his club-record 250-yard performance against Kansas City.

However, coach Wade Phillips stopped short of saying Austin is a starter.

Austin got his first career start Sunday and responded with 10 catches, including a tackle-shaking 60-yarder in overtime that gave Dallas a 26-20 victory. He made a similar play earlier to get free for a 59-yard touchdown.

Austin started in place of Roy Williams, who was out with a rib injury.

Williams is expected back when Dallas plays again a week from Sunday, so the Cowboys will have to decide which two -- or three -- receivers to use as starters.

All Phillips would commit to Monday was that Austin would get as many plays as he received Sunday.
