The Facts:
Austin's stellar training camp and preseason has come to an end because of a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee suffered Saturday, and it's unlikely he will be able to play in the regular-season opener Sept. 7 at Cleveland.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Morning News staffer Todd Archer noted MCL tears (anytime you hear a sprain that means something is torn, by the way) generally take 4-6 weeks to heal depending on the severity. ... So what happens now? According to Archer, Sam Hurd had been the No. 3 receiver anyway, although Austin had been on the rise since camp started. But now guys like Isaiah Stanback, Mark Bradford, Danny Amendola, Daniel Polk, Mike Jefferson and Todd Lowber move up a step.
