FRISCO, Texas app Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown could miss the 2025 season recovering from the sustained in a loss to Cincinnati, coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday.
McCarthy said Overshown has a applong road of rehab in front of him.app The second-year player tore multiple ligaments when a Bengals lineman crashed into his leg in the Cowboys' 27-20 loss Monday night.
Overshown missed all of his rookie year in 2023 after tearing the ACL in his left knee in a preseason game. The latest injury came in his first game since a for a touchdown in a 27-20 victory over the New York Giants on Thanksgiving.
appDeMarvion is getting ready to have a big surgery in front of him,app McCarthy said of the procedure planned this week. appHis physical and football talent speaks for itself. Heapps such a bright light. Heapps got a great, infectious personality app a tough young man. He is definitely going to be missed.app
The former Texas standout, drafted in the third round last year, was second on the team to star pass rusher Micah Parsons with five sacks when he went down.
The December timing of Overshown's injury means rehab is likely to extend past training camp and into the regular season next year, after he turns 25.
Parsons was emotional when asked about Overshown after the Cincinnati game.
appI cried,app he said. appItapps like my little bro, bro. He doesnappt deserve that either. Just to understand what heapps going to go through and to be there for him physically, mentally. Itapps just so challenging because of the year he was having. I really just donappt think thatapps fair either.app
The loss of Overshown comes with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence close to return from a foot injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. But the Cowboys (5-8) are as they prepare to visit Carolina (3-10) on Sunday.
