The explosive Overshown underwent surgery after a serious knee injury ended his 2024 season in early December. The versatile linebacker has a chance to return to the Dallas lineup sometime around midseason, a needed boost for the Cowboys defense. Before suffering the knee injury, Overshown had 84 tackles, 5 sacks, one interception, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, eight tackles for loss, and one defensive touchdown in 2024.

Overshown suffered what appeared to be a major knee injury on Monday night against the Bengals and will miss the remainder of the season. It could be a devastating setback for Overshown, who missed his entire rookie season with an ACL injury. The explosive linebacker — among the best Dallas defenders — finishes 2024 with five sacks, an interceptions, and three pass breakups. He had 13 QB pressures over his final four games of the season.

Overshown was rolled up on and remained down on the field. He needed significant help to get off the field but did walk off. That’s where the good news ends as Overshown was almost immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game with a knee injury. It’s a tough blow for an up-and-coming second-year player that missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL.

Overshown exited Week 10’s game with a non-contact injury but was able to walk off the field under his own power. With the injury not appearing significant, Overshown is expected to undergo treatment, and seems unlikely to miss any significant time. Overshown has totaled 67 tackles, seven TFLs, and four sacks in nine games this season.
