The Tony Romo-to-Laurent Robinson connection continues to pay dividends for the Cowboys.

Romo has completed a touchdown pass to Robinson inside the red zone in six of the Cowboys' last seven games.

Four times the touchdown has come on third down.

"He finds a way to get in the quarterback's vision and create a throw that the quarterback wants to make," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Robinson. "He's done that throughout the season and he's been a big addition for us."

Robinson scored the Cowboys' lone touchdown in their forgettable 34-7 loss Oct. 30 at Philadelphia on a 70-yard pass from Romo in the fourth quarter, but it's what Robinson has done near the goal line that's meant the most to Dallas.

Even though he had a difficult time putting on his pullover sweatshirt, wide receiver Laurent Robinson does not see a way he will miss Sunday’s game against the New York Giants.

Robinson did not practice Wednesday because of a slightly separated right shoulder suffered in the first half of the overtime loss at Arizona. Robinson returned to the game, sporting extra protection under his shoulder pads.

“I’m going to be ready,” Robinson said. “That’s all that matters.”

Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin is expected to practice on Wednesday and baring any setbacks from his recovery from a hamstring injury, is expected to return to the starting lineup for Sunday night's game vs. the New York Giants.

Austin has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury and lost a total of six games due to leg injuries.

"We'll see," Austin said Monday afternoon before walking into the trainer's room at Valley Ranch regarding his status. "Take it one game at a time."

Jerry Jones: Miles Austin not likely to play

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't think Miles Austin will play Sunday at Arizona.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin did not practice Wednesday, possibly forcing him to miss his fourth straight game because of a hamstring injury.

After the Thanksgiving Day win against the Miami Dolphins, Austin expressed hope he would be able to return Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, which is what Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones reiterated on his KRLD-FM radio show Tuesday.

Because Austin has had two different hamstring strains, the Cowboys would want to remain cautious with him and make sure he is 100 percent with three of their five remaining games coming against NFC East opponents.

Given the way Laurent Robinson has played, they can afford to take a slow approach. Robinson has 38 catches for 554 yards with a team-leading seven touchdowns, including at least one in his last five games.
