Cowboys desperately need PFF's breakout prediction to be right DeMarvion Overshown could be the key to the Dallas Cowboys having a top-tier defense in 2026.

JANUARY 29 • THELANDRYHAT.COM

Ruled out with concussion Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Overshown has been in the league's concussion protocol since Week 16, and his downgrade to did-not-participate in Friday's practice session has sealed his fate for the 2025 season. The linebacker will end the season with 12 missed games, three times more than he missed in his rookie season. With Logan Wilson set to start Sunday's game in his place, Overshown will finish a short 2025 campaign with 28 tackles (15 solo) through six games and just 218 defensive snaps.

Limited in Wednesday's practice Overshown (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Overshown entered the league's concussion protocol during the Cowboys' Week 16 loss to the Chargers, which prevented him from playing against the Commanders on Christmas Day. His ability to practice in a limited capacity indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, but Overshown would need to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Giants.

3 Takeaways From the NFL's Christmas Tripleheader

Out for Thursday Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Texas sustained a concussion in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Thursday. Overshown has appeared in six contests since returning from a knee injury in the Week 11 matchup against the Raiders, recording 28 total tackles. While he's out in Week 17, expect Marist Liufau to operate as Dallas' top weakside linebacker.

Estimated as DNP on Monday Overshown (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact The Cowboys held a walkthrough Monday after losing to the Chargers on Sunday. Overshown was concussed in that contest and would seem to be long shot to clear the protocol in time for Thursday's date with the Commanders.

Done for Week 16 due to concussion Overshown (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers, AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Overshown was hurt during the first quarter and headed to the blue medical tent to get evaluated for a concussion. He eventually went to the locker room before being ruled out. Marist Liufau may get more snaps on defense with Overshown out of action. The latter will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play on Christmas Day against the Commanders.

Snap count removed Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Friday that Overshown won't be on a snap count during Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact For the first time since returning from a knee injury in the Week 11 win over the Raiders, Overshown won't be on a pitch count. Through four appearances this season, the Texas product has played 161 defensive snaps and recorded 19 total tackles. Following Schottenheimer's comments, Overshown is expected to operate as the Cowboys' top linebacker Sunday.

Impact Overshown played 47 of 62 defensive snaps (75.8 percent) and he co-led the Cowboys in combined tackles with DaRon Bland. Overshown has logged at least five tackles in each of his last three games and has accumulated 19 stops (10 solo) in the four games since being activated from the PUP list in mid-November.

Records six tackles Thursday Overshown finished with six tackles (two solo) in Thursday's 31-28 win over the Chiefs.

Impact The linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps for the third consecutive game since returning from a knee injury that kept him out for the first nine contests of 2025. Overshown recorded 5.0 sacks, four passes defensed, including an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 13 games last year, and while he's still looking for his first big play this season, he is at least contributing again.
