Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Undergoes knee surgery
Overshown underwent a successful procedure Wednesday to repair the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.
After the surgery, there's optimism Overshown could return to game action as soon as the middle of the 2025 season, an encouraging prognosis considering the nature of the injury he suffered in Week 14. In the meantime, promising rookie third-rounder Marist Liufau projects to continue to play a major role at linebacker.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Suffers significant knee injury
Overshown (knee) is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery after having torn the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee during Monday night's loss to Cincinnati. Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Will need surgery on knee
Owner Jerry Jones said that Overshown will need surgery to address the knee injury he sustained during Monday's game versus the Bengals, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Appears to have serious injury
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said after Monday's loss to the Bengals that Overshown's right knee injury is of a "serious nature," Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Overshown hurt his knee in the fourth quarter of the loss to Cincinnati and didn't return to the contest. He left the locker room after the game on a cart and with a brace around his right knee, per Harris, and McCarthy's comments suggest the second-year defender's issue is more than short-term. Overshown was having a fantastic campaign prior to Monday, tallying 84 tackles -- including 5.0 sacks -- and a pick-six through 12 games. He didn't play in his rookie campaign after tearing the ACL in his left knee during the preseason.
