Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown could miss all of 2025 season after suffering knee injury vs. Bengals :: CBS Sports
Tests show that Overshown tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL. He’s obviously out for the remainder of 2024, but with how late in the season the injury occurred and the severity of the damage, it’s possible that he’ll spend the entirety of the 2025 season in recovery as well. “I think that’s fair,” McCarthy said. “The time of year: obviously, we’re in December. I think like anything, you have the surgery and the rehab is a long process. I think that’s very realistic.”

The brightest spot in the Cowboys’ gloomy year was snuffed out Monday night when Overshown was rolled up on by a Bengals offensive lineman. Everyone knew it was serious, and McCarthy said as much after the game. An emotional Micah Parsons talked about his “little bro” while fighting back tears, saying, “He’s so talented. The year he was having, I mean, I really just don’t think that’s fair.” Overshown himself took to social media to say, “Wouldn’t want this for anyone else! One of God’s Toughest Soldiers (prayer hands emoji) Keep me in your prayers…”
Sources: Upset Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones questioned coach in locker room after botched blocked punt :: Fort Worth Star-Telegram
The visibly upset owner reportedly confronted John Fassel in the locker room over both an apparent called punt block and why Amani Oruwariye seemingly hadn’t been coached to not touch the loose ball. Jones voiced his frustrations to reporters moments later. “We all would say, ‘Well, why block the [punt]? Just take the [punt] and get within field goal [range] and kick it,’” Jones argued. By Tuesday morning, he had apparently cooled down and backtracked on his assumptions, saying he had “revisited the look on the way the ball hit, and it really kind of bounced up in a way that was almost unavoidable. The players are coached up, they talk it up.”
‘Trying to make a play’: Cowboys come to teammate’s defense after costly blocked punt mistake :: Cowboys Wire
McCarthy explained that the punt block was a lucky break and that Amani Oruwariye simply grabbed at the loose ball on instinct. C.J. Goodwin was there in 2021 when the same thing happened to Nahshon Wright and shielded him from reporters after Dallas lost that game. He did the same for a heartbroken Oruwariye on Monday. “We don’t want that moment to define him,” Jourdan Lewis added. “We have to stay behind him. That’s just football.”
John Fassel breaks down “unfortunate” sequence after blocked punt :: The Mothership
The special teams coordinator confirmed that there was no designed attempt to block the Bengals’ late punt, but Nick Vigil showed “perfect” technique when he broke through the line. He also defended Oruwariye’s reaction, which would be the correct one in almost any other instance. “I don’t think this was a failed play, it was an unfortunate bounce,” he explained. Had Vigil gotten just a little more of the ball, Marist Liufau would have likely been able to return it for a Cowboys touchdown, and the whole story changes. Fassel said he reached out to Oruwariye late Monday night and again Tuesday morning to further reassure him.

Joe Burrow’s home broken into during Monday night’s game :: ESPN
The quarterback’s Anderson Township home was broken into Monday night, according to a woman employed by Burrow who called the incident in to police. A bedroom window was found shattered and the home ransacked. Some have theorized that the crime is related to a string of break-ins at other pro athletes’ homes. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce had similar robberies occur while they were playing in games.
Bengals Kicker Cade York kisses his Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader girlfriend Zoe Dale after winning MNF game :: People
The “Monday Night Football” crew got plenty of mileage out of the story of the Cowboys cheerleader who was dating the Bengals’ newly-signed kicker. Dale got a closeup after York knocked through his first extra point of the night, and the pair shared a moment on the field after the game went final. Later, Dale posted a TikTok of her gameday, featuring two clips with York.
‘A conversation starter’: Dallas Cowboys cheerleader on performing without a wig :: Dallas Morning News
Armani Latimer, a five-year DCC veteran, was diagnosed with alopecia as a young girl. She performed Monday night without a wig for the first time to raise awareness for the condition. A video clip from her in the pregame routine has already amassed over three million views on Instagram. “There’s moms who are showing their daughters who have alopecia, their little boys who have alopecia. They’re so excited that they have someone to look up to,” Latimer said. “As scared as I was to step out on that field last night, today I’m grateful that I did.”

Cowboys’ number savant invited to NFL accelerator program for front offices :: Cowboys Wire
John Park was hired last year to be the Cowboys’ director of strategic football operations after holding the same position with Indianapolis for years. His joining the organization was seen as a major shift in how the team looked at the growing field of analytics. By attending the front office accelerator program, Park will gain exposure to other front offices, which could lead to more moves up the NFL ladder for him.
Falcons bargain receiver, a former 2nd-round pick, projected as great fit for Cowboys :: Cowboys Wire
It’s possible Brandin Cooks won’t be in the Cowboys’ plans for 2025, and Jonathan Mingo may or not be a serviceable answer at WR2. If the Joneses go bargain-shopping again this offseason, the 24-year-old Rondale Moore might be worth a look. He hasn’t panned out in Arizona and missed all of 2024 due to a knee injury. And the Cowboys do love those early-round reclamation projects.
Cowboys CB, former 2nd-round pick, projected as great fit for Broncos to poach :: Cowboys Wire
Andrew Booth was a depth add over the offseason and played in three games early in the season, but he’s now merely a practice-squadder who’s not contributing much. A team like Denver, who has no starting option across from Patrick Surtain II, might have a use for the former second-round pick who’s still young enough to be a project for the right club.
