The Dallas Cowboys lost starting safety Jalen Thompson to a hamstring injury during their Week 3 matchup with the Ravens, adding another setback to a depleted secondary. Thompson is listed as questionable to return.
The injury occurred during the second quarter as Thompson attempted a tackle and his left leg was forced into an awkward position. He eventually left the field with a limp and went to the blue medical tent.
Dallas had already lost free safety Malik Hooker to a forearm injury in Week 1. Starting cornerback Cobie Durant then suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2, followed by a foot injury to P.J. Locke, who had replaced Hooker.
Before the Ravens game, the Cowboys promoted slot defender Reddy Steward from the practice squad. Rookie first-round selection Caleb Downs had been playing in that role to begin the season and has prior experience at safety from his college career.
Markquese Bell started alongside Thompson. Bell was penalized for defensive pass interference on a play that set up Derrick Henry's second touchdown of the first half. Alijah Clark entered the game after Thompson's departure.
