Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Won't play Week 4
Overshown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Overshown was originally expected to miss 1-to-2 weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 1, but with a quick turnaround for their next two games, the Cowboys are expected to remain cautious with his return. Shemar James could see extended playing time in Overshown's absence.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Overshown (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown was not practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury during the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Giants. The linebacker continues to recover from the injury. Still, the 26-year-old will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Texans unless he can log at least one session of limited practice participation by Friday.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Ruled out for Week 3
Overshown (hamstring) is not making the trip to Brazil for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
The inside linebacker suffered the hamstring injury during Dallas' Week 1 loss to the Giants, missed the team's Week 2 win over the Commanders and sat out of practice Wednesday. Overshown will now have to work toward returning for Dallas' Week 4 matchup with the Texans on Oct. 4.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Still not practicing Wednesday
Overshown (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown sat out Sunday's win versus the Commanders due to the hamstring injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Giants, and his status for Week 3 is now up in the air as well. He'll likely have to manage at least a limited practice Thursday or Friday to put himself in a position to play in Week 3 versus the Ravens.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Won't play Sunday
Overshown (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer had already announced that the starting inside linebacker was set to miss 1-to-2 weeks due to the hamstring issue he suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Giants. Overshown's status for Week 2 is not surprising, and the 26-year-old could end up missing the team's Week 3 game against the Ravens if he continues to miss practice due to injury.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Misses practice Wednesday
Overshown (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Overshown is expected to miss one to two weeks with the hamstring injury he suffered during Sunday's loss against the Giants, so his absence from practice Wednesday makes sense. He'd probably need to return to practice Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to suit up in Week 2.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Set to miss 1-2 weeks
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.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Injures hamstring Sunday night
Overshown exited Sunday night's game against the Giants with a hamstring injury and is questionable to return, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Overshown left the game in the second half and was spotted on the sideline without his helmet, suggesting his night may be over. Prior to the injury, Overshown racked up seven tackles (one solo). Jaishawn Barham and Shemar James are next up at linebacker alongside Dee Winters.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Moves past injury
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.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Mixing into team drills
Overshown (lower body) was a limited participant during the Cowboys' training camp practice Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown's injuries aren't believed to be a major issue, and he's evidently taking steps towards getting back up to full speed. He missed the first nine games of the 2025 season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in December of 2024, but barring any setbacks, there appears to be a good chance he'll be ready to go for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Limited in Tuesday's practice
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.
