FRISCO — The Dallas Cowboys will embrace any good news they can find with sophomore linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. At this point, we can provide some constructive insight on the topic.
Overshown, a Texas native who was selected 90th overall in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, has already seen hardship in his early career. He missed his whole rookie season after suffering an ACL injury during preseason. In spite of this, Overshown bounced back in 2024 and became a defensive mainstay right away. He had some memorable moments, like as his first career interception against the New York Giants on Thanksgiving, when he returned a self-tipped ball for the Cowboys’ defensive touchdown. He finished second on the team with 90 tackles.
However, their dreams were dashed against Cincinnati due to a devastating knee injury that required surgery. Our colleague Jordan Schultz informed CowboysCountry.com of the “good news” message.
Cowboys star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown had successful knee surgery with Dr. ElAttrache, and it is hoped that he will be able to return by mid-to-late next season, which is a much more hopeful timeframe than was first anticipated following the diagnosis, writes Schultz. Overshown is unwavering in his beliefs in spite of the setback. He posted on social media following the game.
Keep me in your prayers, Overshown said. “I wouldn’t want this for anyone else! One of God’s Toughest Soldiers.”
