The Dallas Cowboys could be without safety Jalen Thompson for at least four weeks, executive vice president Stephen Jones said, as the team considers adding help at the position.
Dallas is scheduled to face the 0-3 Houston Texans next Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern time in Houston. The Cowboys began the season 1-2 and have allowed strong offensive stretches, including a productive showing by the New York Giants in Week 1 and late production from Marcus Mariota in Week 2.
Thompson was hurt during Dallas’ 34-31 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. The Cowboys appeared close to forcing overtime late in the contest, but Baltimore connected on a long pass and then kicked the winning field goal.
Jones indicated the Cowboys will look for another safety, though the source did not identify any potential players or teams involved. The injury is to Thompson’s hamstring.
