After missing his rookie season due to a torn ACL suffered in the preseason, DeMarvion Overshown was a breakout star for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024.

He recorded 90 tackles, five sacks, and had a pick-six in 13 games. Unfortunately, he suffered another severe knee injury that prematurely ended his season.

In Week 14, while playing the Cincinnati Bengals, Overshown tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL. Initially, it was feared he wouldn't play at all in 2025, but Overshown has vowed to be ready by Thanksgiving. It's hard to doubt him after seeing his latest video update, which shows how far he's come in his rehabilitation.

There’s still a hill to climb, but Agent 0 is well on his way. DeMo said he’d be on the field to play the Chiefs on Thanksgiving—I believe him.

The second-year linebacker gave the Cowboys another big-time playmaker in addition to Micah Parsons. When both players were on the field, there was a far different vibe among the entire defense.

In addition to working his way back from the injury, Overshown was able to convince Jerry Jones to let him switch to the number zero. He will be the first player in franchise history to wear the number, allowing him to bring back the nickname 'Agent 0'.

If Overshown is able to return for a late-season push, it would be a massive confidence boost for the whole team.
