Dallas Cowboys safety Jalen Thompson is expected to be sidelined for four weeks or longer because of a hamstring injury, executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Jones also said Dallas will look for additional safety help after injuries at the position.

Thompson was hurt in the Cowboys’ 34-31 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. Dallas had a chance to tie the game and send it to overtime, but Baltimore connected on a lengthy pass and then kicked the winning field goal. The source did not identify potential players or teams Dallas might pursue.

Dallas was 1-2 before the matchup. The New York Giants had a productive offensive game in Week 1, and Marcus Mariota generated late production for his team in Week 2. The Cowboys are scheduled to visit the 0-3 Houston Texans next Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Eastern time.
