Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown Suffered Season Ending Injury

It’s always terrible to see a player go down with an injury. Especially when it’s a player who has already dealt with serious injuries in the past. And yet that’s what is happening to the young Dallas linebacker. The Cowboys’ DeMarvion Overshown suffered a season ending injury in Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. ESPN reporter Todd Archer posted on his social media account that Overshown tore the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee and is scheduled to have surgery this week. Only 16 months ago Overshown tore the ACL in his left knee in the preseason ahead of his rookie season.

After overcoming that left knee injury, Overshown became a bright spot on the Dallas Cowboys’ defense. In his first 13 active games as a pro, the former third-round pick delivered five sacks, 90 combined tackles, four pass break ups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception and a pick-six off of that interception. Whenever he was on the field you would likely hear his name being called for making some kind of play. There is only one other player who had equal or greater production at linebacker in his first 13 games who was the same age or younger than Overshown. That would be Hall of Famer and legendary Chicago Bears linebacker, Brian Urlacher.

Overshown now faces a long, tough road to recovery. It’s unknown right now if Overshown has any chance whatsoever at taking the field in 2025, given the timing of the injury to his right knee and in how the typical recovery time for a torn ACL is roughly one calendar year — Overshown having torn more than his ACL in Week 14.

Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones spoke about Overshown during his weekly interview:

“I don’t know, at this time, the date on his rehab,” said owner and general manager Jerry Jones to 105.3 the Fan on Tuesday. “I just can’t tell you how bad I feel for him because he’s just been through that the mental and the physical rehab on his other knee, and then to turn around and have to go through that again — it’s the toughest time for a player. We all see the loss and know what it’s going to mean for us in our remaining four games, but the bottom line is that it’s really sad that he’s having to have this surgery for him as an individual and obviously us as a team.”

Overshown’s impact on the team can’t be overstated. Even veteran Micah Parsons was moved to tears. He said, “The year he was having, I mean, I really just don’t think that’s fair.”

This is a tough loss for Dallas.
