Good news from the Doc! We getting active THIS szn,

Overshown posted on Instagram, suggesting his medical team has cleared him for increased activity as he continues to recover.

Recovery still in progress for DeMarvion Overshown

While Overshown’s positive mindset has remained unwavering throughout his rehabilitation process, his official return timeline remains uncertain. The team announced that the linebacker will open training camp on the active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. 

Barring a significant breakthrough in his rehab, he is expected to shift to the reserve/PUP list before the season kicks off, sidelining him for at least the first four games.

This marks the second major knee injury of Overshown’s young career. In 2023, during the preseason of what would have been his rookie campaign, he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee, forcing him to miss the entire season.

Breakout 2024 campaign

Despite his injury history, Overshown made a significant impact on the field last season. In 13 games, he recorded 90 tackles, five sacks, an interception, four passes defensed, and one forced fumble, showcasing his versatility and high football IQ.

His strong performance helped solidify his role in the Cowboys' defensive unit and positioned him as a rising star before his most recent injury setback.

Road to recovery

While his placement on the PUP list indicates that Overshown isn't fully game-ready, the tone of his update reflects both personal determination and medical optimism. With continued rehab and support from the Cowboys' training staff, Overshown could still make a return later in the 2025 season.

Cowboys fans and coaches alike are undoubtedly hoping that his resilience and work ethic will lead to another successful comeback.
