Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown’s knee injury looked bad, and everyone in the Cowboys’ locker room reacted as if it is bad after Monday’s 27-20 loss to the Bengals.
“He’s having an outstanding year, and we’ll see what what it brings,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “It’s concerning at this time, very concerning.”
As devastating as the loss to the Bengals was, the loss of their linebacker might be worse considering what he’s overcome. He missed his entire rookie season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in the 2023 preseason.
He injured his right knee Monday and will undergo an MRI to confirm what appears to be bad news.
Overshown posted that he “wouldn’t want this for anyone else! One of God’s Toughest Soldiers. Keep me in your prayers.”
Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons cried when asked about Overshown.
“He don’t deserve that either. He really don’t,” Parsons said. “I understand what he’s going to go through and to be there for me physically, mentally. It’s just so challenging. He’s so talented. The year he was having. I really just don’t think that’s fair.”
