The Dallas Cowboys' secondary took another injury hit in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens. Jalen Thompson could not put weight on his left leg after it was positioned awkwardly during a tackle, then limped to the blue medical tent. He was listed as questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

Free safety Malik Hooker remains sidelined by a forearm injury suffered in Week 1, while starting cornerback Cobie Durant was lost in Week 2 with a hamstring problem. PJ Locke, who replaced Hooker, is out because of a foot injury.

Before the game, Dallas promoted slot defender Reddy Steward from its practice squad. Rookie first-round pick Caleb Downs, who has college experience at safety, has also been on the practice squad. Alijah Clark took Thompson's spot next to Markquese Bell.

Bell was called for a defensive pass interference penalty that helped set up a first-half touchdown by Derrick Henry. Additional information about Thompson's condition and any defensive changes was not clear.
