Reinforcements are on the way for the Dallas Cowboys as they get ready for their Week 11 showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Last week, Dallas acquired Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for 2026 second-round pick, a 2027-first round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Williams has racked up 322 tackles, 101 QB hits and 40 sacks. He should help out a defense that's giving up 30.8 points per game this season.

The Cowboys are also getting some help from a few injured players. Star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown has been activated off the physically unable to perform list. He's been sidelined since December 2024. During that season, the Texas product had 90 tackles, five sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.

In addition to getting Overshown back, the Cowboys have activated cornerback Shavon Revel from the non-football injury list.

Revel, a third-round pick from East Carolina, was an All-AAC player prior to his injury. There's a chance he'll give the Cowboys a boost in the secondary.

Overshown could be the X-factor.

During an appearance on 105.3 The Fan this Tuesday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones raved about 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," Jones said, via Dallas Cowboys on SI. "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."

When healthy, Overshown is a legitimate game-changer. If he can pick up where he left off, the Cowboys might just field a respectable defense.

Kickoff for the Cowboys-Raiders game is at 8:15 p.m. ET on Nov. 17.
