Dallas Cowboys safety Jalen Thompson is projected to miss a minimum of four weeks because of a hamstring injury, according to executive vice president Stephen Jones. The team has yet to confirm if Thompson will be placed on injured reserve, but he is considered a potential candidate for the list.
Thompson sustained the injury during the second quarter of the Cowboys' 34-31 loss to the Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. This injury compounds the challenges facing the Cowboys' safety group, which has already seen Malik Hooker miss the last two games due to a forearm injury. Additionally, P.J. Locke was placed on injured reserve on Saturday because of a foot injury.
Prior to his exit from the game, Thompson had been a key player, participating in every defensive play during the first nine-plus quarters of the season and accumulating 17 tackles.
