Not looking great for Week 1
Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said last week that there's a "good chance" Overshown (knee) "may not be available" come Week 1 of the 2025 campaign, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
ANALYSIS
Overshown had surgery Dec. 18 to address ACL, MCL and PCL tears in his right knee. He said his recovery timeline is nine months, which doesn't out a Week 1 appearance, although the timing and severity of his injury mean it won't come as any surprise if he isn't ready for the start of the season. The 2024 third-round pick had a fantastic rookie year pre-injury, starting 12 of his 13 games and recording 90 tackles (including 5.0 sacks), four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Overshown logged four games in which he played every defensive snap and four others at 85 percent or higher, earning a three-down role within the first month of his pro career.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Overshown appears poised for a big role with the Cowboys as a rookie after being selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft, but a torn ACL cost him his entire rookie season. Fully recovered heading into training camp, the Texas product has strong coverage skills and can fly to the ball, but he'll compete with 2024 third-round pick Marist Liufau for a starting spot at linebacker alongside Eric Kendricks and Damone Clark.
