The Dallas Cowboys are expected to look for additional help at safety after Jalen Thompson suffered a hamstring injury, executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Thompson could be sidelined for four weeks or longer.

The injury occurred in Dallas’ 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. The Cowboys were close to sending the game to overtime, but Baltimore connected on a long pass and later kicked the winning field goal. The source did not specify which players or teams Dallas could consider in its search for a safety.

Dallas had a 1-2 record entering the game. The team had allowed the New York Giants to post a productive offensive outing in Week 1, then surrendered late production to Marcus Mariota in Week 2. The Cowboys are scheduled to face the 0-3 Houston Texans next Sunday at 1 p.m. Eastern time in Houston.
