DeMarvion Overshown Reveals Encouraging Injury Update Ahead of Season

This season, Cowboys fans are filled with anticipation, hopeful that the team’s new head coach and revamped roster can finally make a serious playoff run. But one critical factor looms large: staying healthy. Of all the players whose return could shape the season, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown stands out, and his latest injury update suggests he’s on track to make his comeback sooner than many expected.

In a recent Instagram story, Overshown shared an encouraging message with fans:

“Good news from the Doc! We getting active THIS season.”

It’s a major milestone for the young linebacker, who tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL in his right knee last December in a matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. That devastating injury came just a year after his rookie season was cut short by an ACL tear in his left knee before he even had the chance to take the field.

Yet despite these brutal setbacks, Overshown has already shown he can be one of the most dynamic defenders on the Cowboys roster when healthy. In just 12 regular season games, he posted an impressive stat line: 90 total tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 5 sacks, a forced fumble and recovery, and even a pick-six. His high-impact play earned him national recognition, with ESPN recently ranking him as the No. 8 off-ball linebacker in the league, a remarkable feat given his limited time on the field.

While the Cowboys haven’t provided an exact timetable for his return, Overshown has made it clear he expects to play this season, ideally before the critical second-half stretch. His return would be a huge boost to a defense that will face some of the NFL’s toughest offenses down the stretch, with marquee matchups against the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and Commanders on the horizon.

For Cowboys fans, the thought of a healthy Overshown rejoining a star-studded defense alongside Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs, not to mention a revamped offense featuring newcomers George Pickens and Javonte Williams, is enough to spark real hope that this could finally be their year.

As a Texas native, University of Texas alum, and undeniable talent on the field, Overshown has already cemented himself as a fan favorite within the organization. Seeing him healthy and back in action this season would not just strengthen the Cowboys’ chances — it would electrify a fanbase hungry for success.
