According to Todd Archer, the Cowboys are concerned LB DeMarvion Overshown suffered a major knee injury in Monday night’s loss to the Bengals, with more damage than just a torn ACL.
“It’s not good,” Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said after the game. Overshown’s knee was rolled up on at the bottom of a pile and he was ruled out almost immediately.
It’s a tough blow for the second-year linebacker who was in the midst of a breakout year after missing his entire rookie season due to a torn ACL.
Overshown, 24, was the defensive MVP of the 2020 Alamo Bowl and was also named first-team All-Big 12 in 2022. The Cowboys drafted him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
He’s in the second year a four-year, $5,390,027 rookie contract that includes a $920,019 signing bonus.
In 2024, Overshown has appeared in 12 games for the Cowboys, making 11 starts. He’s tallied 84 total tackles, including eight tackles for loss, a forced fumble, one recovery, an interception and three passes defended.
