He hasn't practiced all week. He's been out last 2 games, yet Rams still won. He has 5 TD's receiving, 1 rushing, and 1 PR. He's had at least 2 if not 3 long ones called back on penalty. Schottenheimer really didn't figure out how to use the guy until the last few games he played... and the Rams special teams were horrible the first 5-6 games - had a penalty on every single return I think. People were calling for John Fassel to be fired. They've really turned it around.
His teammate at WVU, Stedman Bailey has stepped up in Austin's absence... great hands, gets open, plays with an attitude.
If Austin doesn't play, then Isaiah Pead will return kicks, and Justin Veltung will return punts. Has been on Rams practice squad all year.
