Cowboys Face Growing Injury Concerns After Brazil Defeat
Dallas dropped to 1-2 after a 34-31 loss to Baltimore in Brazil, with the Ravens kicking a 56-yard field goal as time expired. Cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. left with a right knee injury and did not return, while safety Jalen Thompson was also hurt. The Cowboys' secondary issues add to their concerns before Week 4 against Houston.
Dallas fell to 1-2 after Baltimore's last-second 56-yard field goal in Brazil. The Cowboys had tied it with seven seconds remaining, but a 27-yard completion set up the decisive kick.
Injuries mounted in the secondary: Shavon Revel Jr. exited with a right knee issue after chasing Zay Flowers, while Jalen Thompson hurt a hamstring and could not continue. Jonathan Bullard also dealt with a calf problem. Dallas already lacked Cobie Durant, Malik Hooker, and P.J. Locke.
The injuries could affect Cowboys players, coaches, and fans by reshaping expectations for Week 4 against Houston. If key defenders miss time, the team's performance and fan confidence may suffer, while discussions about player safety and roster depth could grow. The impact likely remains within the sports world, though it may influence local interest and media coverage around the Cowboys.
