Cowboys loses 2 players to IR after Week 3

The Dallas Cowboys placed defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard and safety Jalen Thompson on injured reserve ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans. The move, reported by The Athletic’s Jon Machota, is expected to sideline both players for at least four games. Dallas returns from Brazil to play at Reliant Stadium after a 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The Cowboys are 1-2 through three weeks following a 28-20 defeat to the New York Giants and a 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders. Offensively, Dak Prescott has kept Dallas competitive with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Javonte Williams, but the defense has allowed 27.3 points per game.
