The Cowboys will be without cornerback Cobie Durant, safeties Malik Hooker and P.J. Locke, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown when Dallas faces the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. All four missed Dallas practices Wednesday and Thursday and were ruled out of the Week 3 matchup. Both teams enter the international game with 1-1 records.

Durant, who joined Dallas this offseason after four seasons with the Rams, started the Cowboys’ first two games. He played 87 defensive snaps before a hamstring injury in the victory over Washington last Sunday, and he was expected to miss multiple weeks. Hooker has been out since breaking his forearm in the season opener against the New York Giants.

He started that game but left after 12 defensive snaps.

Locke replaced Hooker in the starting lineup against Washington and played 31 defensive snaps before tearing the plantar fascia in his foot. Overshown will miss his second consecutive game because of the hamstring strain he suffered in the opener. He started against New York and recorded seven tackles before leaving.

Jaishawn Barham is expected to take on a larger role, while second-year cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. could see additional playing time.

The game is set for 3:25 p.m. CT at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, where Dallas is listed as the home team. The report was published by sports.yahoo.com.
