According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Dallas Cowboys have activated linebacker DeMarvion Overshown from the PUP list. Activating him means there is a chance Overshown plays on Monday Night Football vs. the Las Vegas Raiders. A huge get for the Cowboys, hoping to find defensive improvements after the bye week.

“The Cowboys have activated LB DeMarvion Overshown from the PUP list, ending his long road back,” Rapoport said via X. “A potentially significant addition. They also activated rookie DB Shavon Revel from NFI.”

Injuries have been a major story in the professional career of Overshown. Getting drafted by the Cowboys out of Texas, Overshown brought some athleticism and energy to the linebacker room. However, he wound up missing all of his rookie season and the final four of 2024.

Those 13 games were quite productive, though. Overshown recorded 90 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, five sacks, five quarterback hits, and even pulled off an interception. Those are the kind of numbers the Cowboys desperately need at the moment.
