The Dallas Cowboys lost another starting defensive back during their Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens, with safety Jalen Thompson leaving after injuring his left leg on a tackle attempt. His return was later listed as questionable because of a hamstring injury.
Thompson’s leg appeared to become fixed as his body moved in another direction during the second quarter. He remained on the field before walking away with a limp and entering the blue medical tent.
The injury adds to Dallas’ personnel issues in the secondary. Free safety Malik Hooker went down with a forearm injury in Week 1, followed by starting cornerback Cobie Durant, who suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2. PJ Locke, who had taken Hooker’s place, also sustained a foot injury.
Markquese Bell started alongside Thompson against Baltimore. Bell was penalized for defensive pass interference on a play that helped set up Derrick Henry’s second touchdown of the first half. Alijah Clark entered the game after Thompson left.
