The Cowboys need Dez Bryant to step up, starting now.

Dallas will be without Miles Austin for 2-4 weeks after he hurt his right hamstring Sunday, according to Matt Mosley of FoxSportsSouthwest.

Linebacker Sean Lee has a “much better chance” to play this week, according to Mosley.

Austin has already missed two games this year with a left hamstring injury This absence highlights Dallas’ lack of depth at wide receiver.

Laurent Robinson figures to start opposite Dez Bryant while Austin is out. The Cowboys offense ranks only 18th in points this year despite ranking seventh in offensive yards.
