Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Monday that Overshown is expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks due to the hamstring injury he sustained during Sunday's loss against the Giants, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports. Overshown was forced out of the Cowboys' regular-season opener early with a hamstring issue, and it seems like he'll likely have to sit out at least one game as he recovers. Any time he spends on the sidelines could open up additional time at linebacker for rookie third-round pick Jaishawn Barham.

Overshown (lower body) participated at the Cowboys' training camp practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. Overshown was dealing with a lower-body injury at practice last week, and he did not participate in the team's 17-7 preseason victory over the Seahawks on Saturday. The inside linebacker was handling first-team reps at practice Monday, and he now appears to be good to go ahead of the team's preseason matchup with the Cardinals on Saturday, if Dallas chooses to play its starters.

Overshown was a limited participant in Tuesday's training camp practice due to soreness in his legs and lower body, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. The limitations on Overshown's practice reps was a cautionary move by the Cowboys, and the 2023 third-rounder's injuries aren't a long-term concern. Overshown missed the first nine games of the 2025 regular season while recovering from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL that he sustained in December of 2024 and then missed the final two contests while in the league's concussion protocol.

Overshown has been practicing at middle and weakside linebacker during minicamp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. The linebacker is also healthy and wearing no knee brace, per Machota. That's significant, seeing as he missed 12 games with a knee injury in 2025. Overshown made an impact in 2024, with 90 tackles (56 solo), including 5.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. The third-year pro from Texas sustained a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Overshown has appeared in six contests since returning from a knee injury in the Week 11 matchup against the Raiders, recording 28 total tackles. While he's out in Week 17, expect Marist Liufau to operate as Dallas' top weakside linebacker.
