Jalen Thompson is expected to miss more than four weeks because of a hamstring injury, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday. The update was reported by cbssports.com.
Thompson was injured during the second quarter of Dallas' 34-31 loss to the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. He could be a candidate for placement on injured reserve, according to the report.
The injury further affects the Cowboys' safety group. Malik Hooker has missed the past two games with a forearm injury, while P.J. Locke was placed on injured reserve Saturday because of a foot injury.
Before leaving Sunday's game, Thompson had participated in every defensive snap across Dallas' first nine-plus quarters of the season. He had recorded 17 tackles during that span.
