08:03 AM ET 06.18 | Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin has had injury problems throughout the past couple of years in the league. Most recently it was a hamstring injury that slowed down the receiver and now the team is doing what they can to make sure he will be ready for the end of the season. According to reports, Austin has been given days off during the team OTAs and minicamps in an effort to give him all of the rest he needs in order to be there when the team needs him most down the stretch.

"You get that when you're a smaller guy," the Denver Broncos running back told Around The League on Monday from the NFL Media newsroom. "You can't take the pounding, but I just brush it off. Of course you hear things. I'm not going to sit hear and say I don't hear what they say, but you just got to let it go.
