IRVING - Cowboys running back/kick returner Tyson Thompson will have surgery on his broken left ankle and miss the rest of the season.
Bill Parcells said the Cowboys will look into possibly signing a returner to replace Thompson.
Veteran Aaron Glenn filled in for Thompson against Carolina and had one return for 14 yards. The Cowboys beat Carolina 35-14 Sunday night.
Thompson, of Irving, suffered the injury on a first-quarter return when he was tackled out of bounds after a 37-yard return and the play drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Thompson had two returns in the game for a 33.5 average.
Entering the Carolina game, Thompson was third in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in klckoff returns.
