"As a Cowboys fan, I've learned to read between the lines. Sometimes the most important moments of a season don't come with fireworks or headlines, they come with decisions. Taking DeMarvion Overshown off a snap count feels like one of those decisions. This isn't just about playing time. It is about trust. After everything Overshown has been through, the Cowboys aren't managing him anymore."
"I can't separate this story from the injury. Overshown didn't suffer a minor setback or injury. He tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL. That injury took seven hours in surgery and nearly a year of rehab, an injury that of that magnitude ends careers. So, when he came back this season on a snap count, I understood why. It was expected, it wasn't a doubt about his abilities, it was caution."
"He finished 2024 with 90 tackles, 53 solo stops, five sacks, four passes defended, and an amazing interception. Impact football is what this team needs behind the defensive line and Overshown brings that every game. He has only played in a handful of games this year and the numbers don't jump off the page, yet. He has 19 tackles over four games."
DeMarvion Overshown is no longer on a snap count, signaling full trust from the Cowboys coaching staff. He suffered a severe knee injury—tearing ACL, MCL, and PCL—that required seven hours of surgery and nearly a year of rehabilitation. Before the injury he recorded 90 tackles, 53 solo stops, five sacks, four passes defended, and an interception in 2024. This season he has played only a handful of games with 19 tackles over four contests. Each snap shows increasing involvement and confidence as his speed, energy, and consistency return. Greater availability should boost the Cowboys' linebacker impact behind the defensive line.
