DeMarvion Overshown injury update: Dallas Cowboys say they are ‘devastated’

The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly devastated in the aftermath of DeMarvion Overshown’s injury.

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, but the 27-20 final score may be the least of their problems.

As the fourth quarter began in earnest linebacker DeMarvion Overshown suffered a right knee injury and needed help to leave the field and game. He was just about immediately ruled out from the rest of the contest.

While the team’s loss to Cincinnati stung, attention quickly turned to Overshown and what the significance of the injury was/is. At the time of this writing it is still not fully known, but some details have begun to trickle out.

For starters, Overshown took to social media and expressed confidence from a faith-based perspective. He did ask for prayers from his followers/fans.

That could be read to meaning different things and is a bit open to interpretation, but Mike McCarthy also spoke on the situation. McCarthy noted that the team is devastated and that the injury did not look good. For what it is worth, Jerry Jones left it at saying that the team was “very concerned.”

The Cowboys likely want to get official tests and what not done before making any final and official determinations on Overshown, but clearly there is cause for some true concern.

Overshown has been having a remarkable season for the Cowboys in 2024, his first year playing. You will recall that Overshown tore his ACL (in his left knee, not the one he injured on Monday night) prior to his rookie season.

We will update things around here when more is known.
