Miles Austin and Dez Bryant are on schedule to practice this Saturday, says Jason Garrett. Both of the Cowboys star receivers have missed preseason action due to injuries, but they are currently looking like they could play in Week 1 of the regular season.

Analysis: Bryant hasn't practiced fully since August 20 with his tendinitis issue. Austin on the other hand continues to experience hamstring problems, an ailment that plagued the majority of his 2011 season. Dallas is really struggling right now in the injury department, so getting either of these receivers back to practicing regular would be a huge benefit. With Jason Witten missing time as well, Tony Romo needs someone to stay healthy for the regular season opener. If Austin or Bryant plays, they should be a good bet to rack up points against a Giants team that ranked 29th in pass defense last season.
