Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is determined to return to the field sooner than expected after a serious knee injury
Dallas: So, DeMarvion Overshown is really pushing to get back on the field. He had a tough break with three torn ligaments in his knee during a game against the Bengals.
He had surgery on December 18, and the doctors say it’ll take about nine months to heal. That puts his return for next season in a bit of a gray area.
But here’s the thing—Overshown isn’t letting that slow him down. He’s all about attacking his rehab and getting back sooner than they think.
He mentioned that the team hasn’t given him a strict timeline. He’s not one to sit around and wait. He’s determined to be back on the field before December, and he’s got that fire in him.
Last year was rough for him too. He missed his rookie season after tearing his ACL in his other knee during preseason. But his teammates recognized his hard work and gave him the Ed Block Courage Award for his recovery.
In 2024, he really shined, racking up 90 tackles, five sacks, and even an interception. So, he’s definitely got the talent to make a big impact when he returns.
Overall, he’s confident he’ll be back playing football in 2025, and he’s not just hoping for it—he’s planning on it.
