Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown suffered torn ACL, MCL, and PCL to his right knee

The worst-case scenario for the Dallas Cowboys has happened when it comes to second-year linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. He went down with a knee injury in the Cowboys' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, and the team feared that it was more than just a possible ACL tear. Indeed, that is that case as Overshown not only tore that ligament, but also his MCL and PCL as well according to ESPN's Todd Archer. He will have surgery this week.

It usually takes at least a year for a player to fully recover from an ACL tear. However, with two other ligaments torn, the Cowboys will certainly be cautious with Overshown's rehab, which could mean he won't play again until 2026.

For Overshown, this is a devastating blow. He was playing fantastic football as he compiled 90 tackles (second on the Cowboys) with eight tackles for loss in 2024. The former third-round pick also logged five sacks, an interception, four pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 13 games. With the way he was performing, a Pro Bowl nod would have likely been in consideration.

This is also the second significant knee injury for Overshown. He suffered a torn ACL in his left knee last preseason, which put him on the shelf for his entire rookie campaign. Now, he has to travel that long road of recovery once again. Luckily, he knows what to expect, as frustrating as it is. So, the hope now is that his recovery goes well, and he's back to causing havoc soon like he was this season.
