Miles Austin: "I'm playing and ready to go"

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin has revealed that he is "ready" to return to action following three weeks out.

Austin sustained a hamstring injury during his side's win over the Philadelphia Eagles - his second problem in that area of the season - but the 29-year-old said that he is poised to return after an annoying spell on the sidelines.

"It's just something that you have to go through regardless of how frustrating it is," Austin told ESPN.

"You have to deal with reality when it comes. The reality now is that I feel good. I'm playing and ready to go."

The Cowboys face the New York Giants on Sunday in a crucial NFC East divisional clash.
