The Dallas Cowboys may look outside the team for safety help after Jalen Thompson suffered a hamstring injury. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Thompson is likely to miss at least four weeks, and he indicated Dallas will seek another player at the position because of injuries there.

The Cowboys lost 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens in Brazil. Dallas seemed positioned to force overtime near the end, but Baltimore connected on a long pass and then kicked the winning field goal. The source did not identify which players or teams Dallas could pursue.

Dallas entered that game with a 1-2 record. The team previously allowed the New York Giants to mount a strong offensive showing in Week 1 and 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.
