Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Unable to suit up Week 9
Overshown (hamstring/back) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against Indianapolis.
Overshown wasn't able to overcome injuries to his hamstring and back in time to be ready to suit up Sunday. He was limited in practice both Thursday and Friday, so the issues may not cause a long-term absence. Shemar James is likely to start alongside Dee Winters at inside linebacker for the Cowboys on Sunday.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Questionable for Sunday
Overshown (hamstring/back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown appeared on Thursday's injury report with multiple injuries. It remains unclear how serious the injuries are, but the linebacker was able to practice in a limited capacity during both Thursday's and Friday's sessions. Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham will likely see more snaps at inside linebacker if Overshown cannot suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Overshown (hamstring/back) was limited in Thursday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Overshown popped up on the practice report due to a couple of nagging injuries. There will presumably be more clarity Friday regarding his status for the Week 9 meeting with the Colts. However, if Overshown can't get out there for that contest, Shemar James and Jaishawn Barham may be in line for more snaps.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Picks off McKee in return
Overshown posted six tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception) during the Cowboys' 38-21 win over the Eagles on Monday.
Overshown was given the green light by medical staff to play Monday after missing the Cowboys' five previous games due to a hamstring injury. The fourth-year linebacker ended up co-leading Dallas in tackles and he picked off Tanner McKee midway through the fourth quarter. Overshown has played in only 21 regular-season games since being selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but he's still a key piece in the defense when healthy.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Appears ready to return to action
Overshown (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Overshown hasn't played since suffering a hamstring injury Week 1 versus the Giants. However, director of player personnel Stephen Jones said Monday that the linebacker has a "great chance" to play in Week 7, and Overshown's return to action seems all but certain given his ability to log a full practice Thursday. Should he in fact suit up, Overshown should slide back in as a starter after logging a 74 percent defensive snap share in his lone appearance so far this season.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Long shot for Week 6
Overshown (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overwshown ended Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Sunday night's game, though head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that Overshown is a "long shot" to play. If Overshown is indeed ruled out for a second consecutive game, then rookie third-rounder Jaishawn Barham would be in line to once again start alongside Dee Winters at linebacker.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Limited at practice Thursday
Overshown (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Overshown (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown has missed the Cowboys' last four games due to a hamstring injury he sustained in Week 1 against the Giants.

He'll end up missing a fourth consecutive game as a result of his health concern, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Overshown has sat out Dallas' last three contests due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1 against the Giants, and his availability for Thursday is now in doubt as well. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Tuesday or Wednesday to put himself in a position to play in Week 5.
