Cowboys optimistic after DeMarvion Overshown’s knee surgery

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Dallas Cowboys are optimistic that linebacker DeMarvion Overshown might be able to return late next season after undergoing successful knee surgery, Fox Sports reported Wednesday.

Overshown underwent surgery to repair three ligaments in his right knee, an injury that Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy at first said realistically could sideline Overshown for the entire 2025 season.

The Cowboys are now eyeing mid-to-late 2025, per the report.

Overshown tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Overshown, 24, was having a breakout campaign after missing out on his rookie season when he tore the ACL in his left knee during a preseason game. He started all but one game this season and had been a bright spot in a rather disappointing season for the Cowboys.

Overshown recorded 90 tackles (56 solo), eight tackles for loss, five sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception in 13 games (12 starts) this season.

Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown to have season-ending surgery

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown will require season-ending surgery on his right knee, owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday morning on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

Jones said the team was awaiting MRI results to determine the extent of Overshown’s injury. Without that information, Jones couldn’t reveal a timeline for the linebacker’s recovery.

Overshown sustained the injury early in the fourth quarter of Monday’s 27-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and did not return to the game.

At the end of a 2-yard run by running back Chase Brown, Overshown’s right leg was rolled up on and pinned by tumbling Cincinnati center Ted Karras. Overshown was being blocked by Bengals guard Alex Cappa at the time.

Overshown, 24, was having a breakout campaign after missing out on his rookie season when he tore the ACL in his left knee during a preseason game. He started all but one game this season and had been a bright spot in a rather disappointing season for the Cowboys (5-8).

“I just can’t tell you how bad I feel for him,” Jones said. “Because he’s just been through that mental and the physical rehab on his other knee. To turn around and have to go through that again … it’s the toughest time for a player.”

Overshown recorded 90 tackles (56 solo), eight tackles for loss, five sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception in 13 games (12 starts) this season.

The interception, which was returned 23 yards for a touchdown, came in Dallas’ 27-20 win over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving.

Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown injures knee vs. Bengals

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Dallas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown left the Cowboys’ game against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals early in the fourth quarter Monday night after getting his right leg tangled as he was being blocked.

He sat out the remainder of the Cowboys’ 27-20 defeat.

At the end of a 2-yard run by Bengals running back Chase Brown, Overshown’s right leg was rolled up on and pinned by a tumbling Cincinnati lineman while Bengals guard Alex Cappa was blocking Overshown.

The linebacker remained on the ground, grabbing at his right knee.

Overshown, 24, is having a breakout campaign after missing out on his rookie season.

Drafted in the third round out of Texas in 2023, Overshown sat out last year after sustaining a torn ACL in his left knee during a preseason game. He has started all but one game this season and has been a bright spot on a rather disappointing season for the Cowboys.

In 12 games entering Monday, Overshown had 84 tackles (52 solo), eight tackles for loss, five sacks, a fumble recovery and an interception.

The interception came in Dallas’ most recent game and Overshown returned it 23 yards for a touchdown in the Cowboys’ 27-20 win over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving. Before the injury, Overshown had six tackles (four solo) in the Monday game and a pass defensed, his fourth of the season.

The Cowboys also lost starting center Cooper Beebe to a concussion in the first half. Brock Hoffman replaced Beebe.

Report: Texas LB DeMarvion Overshown cited for marijuana, released

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Texas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown was formally cited on marijuana possession Monday after an incident in December, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

According to the report, Overshown did a “walk-through” with police Monday just after 10 a.m. The report added that Overshown’s punishment within the Longhorns program already has been handled by head coach Steve Sarkisian.

A report by 247Sports indicated that Overshown had less than two ounces of marijuana in his possession at the time of the incident and has been released.

Overshown is second on the Longhorns with 23 tackles, two behind fellow linebacker Jaylan Ford. Texas is 2-1 this season, nearly pulling off an upset of then-No. 1 Alabama in a 20-19 defeat Sept. 10.

A Butkus Award semifinalist last season, who also was honorable mention All-Big 12, Overshown has played in 38 games (22 starts) for the Longhorns over five seasons.

Selected to the All-Big 12 preseason team this year, the 6-foot-4, 220-pounder also is on the watch list for the 2022 Butkus Award, as well as the Bednarik Award, Lombardi Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy.
