Jerry Jones could not be more excited for DeMarvion Overshown's return

"He has had, frankly, an amazing rehab. He was moving really good at training camp. He's been very active, moving up and down in practices. He's a great, talented player and overachieving is his makeup. Fundamentally, I would expect him to step right in and be familiar with what we're doing. It's going to be interesting to see how many snaps he plays."

Of course, it is hard to say when exactly Overshown will return with certainty, or what the actual plan will be for him once he does inevitably return to the field.

Will it be next week vs. the Raiders? It's possible. Is he going to play a bunch of snaps? Unlikely.

Either way, one thing we can count on is Overshown being productive once he returns to a full-time role.

Last season before his injury against the Bengals, he was flying around the field, finishing with 90 total tackles, five sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, four passes defended, five stuffs, and one interception that he returned for a touchdown.

He also ranked 11th out of 83 graded linebackers in PFF pass rush grade with a 78.9.

And if the Cowboys can get that kind of production back to the field, in combination with the other moves they made to acquire Quinnen Williams and Logan Wilson, and the other returns of Malik Hooker and rookie corner Shevon Revel, things could be looking up big time for this defense.
