Jalen Thompson is expected to be sidelined for four or more weeks with a hamstring injury, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said. Jones indicated the team will look for another safety after injuries at the position, though he did not identify any potential players or teams Dallas could pursue.

The Cowboys are scheduled to visit the 0-3 Houston Texans next Sunday, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. Eastern time. Dallas enters that matchup at 1-2 after losing 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil, where Thompson was injured.

Dallas appeared close to sending the game to overtime late, but Baltimore connected on a long pass before making the field goal that decided the game. The Cowboys also surrendered a strong offensive showing by the New York Giants in Week 1 and allowed Marcus Mariota to produce late in Week 2.
