DeMarvion Overshown Ahead of Schedule in Recovery; Sam Williams Returns to Practice
The Dallas Cowboys received encouraging news regarding
linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who is reportedly ahead of schedule in his recovery from a devastating knee injury. Overshown suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in his right knee during a Week 14 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in December 2024. The injury required major surgery and was initially expected to sideline him well into the 2025 season. However, his recovery has progressed faster than anticipated, raising hopes that he could return to the field sooner than expected.
Overshown has maintained a positive outlook throughout his rehabilitation and has publicly stated his goal of winning the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2025. His determination and rapid progress have been met with enthusiasm by the Cowboys’ coaching staff, who are hopeful he will contribute to the team at some point this season.
Meanwhile, defensive end Sam Williams has returned to practice after missing time with an undisclosed injury. His return is a welcome boost to the Cowboys’ defensive line, which has been dealing with injuries and roster concerns as they prepare for the upcoming campaign. Williams, known for his explosiveness and physicality, is expected to play a significant role in the team’s rotation on the edge.
In light of Overshown’s injury, the Cowboys are also exploring options to add depth to their linebacker group. One potential target is veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley, whose experience and leadership could provide valuable stability to the defensive unit.
The team is also awaiting the return of star linebacker Micah Parsons, who is expected to be available for the 2025 season despite ongoing contract negotiations. With Overshown’s recovery progressing well, Williams back on the field, and Parsons likely returning, the Cowboys’ defense could still be a formidable force in 2025.
