Dallas Cowboys safety Jalen Thompson is expected to miss four or more weeks with a hamstring injury, executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Jones also said the team will look for help at safety after injuries affected the position.
Thompson was hurt in Dallas’ 34-31 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. The Cowboys seemed poised to send the game to overtime, but Baltimore connected on a lengthy pass before kicking the winning field goal.
Dallas was 1-2 entering that matchup. The team had already surrendered a productive offensive showing by the New York Giants in Week 1 and allowed Marcus Mariota to make plays late in Week 2. The source did not specify which potential players or teams could be involved in Dallas’ search for a safety.
The Cowboys are scheduled to visit the 0-3 Houston Texans next Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Eastern time.
