The linebacker position has been a problem for the Dallas Cowboys this season. So far, five players have started a game, while Jack Sanborn remains on injured reserve with a hip injury. The Cowboys recently acquired Logan Wilson from the Cincinnati Bengals at last week’s NFL Trade Deadline, with a rising star inching closer to a return.

The Cowboys designated DeMarvion Overshown for return from the PUP list on Wednesday, October 22, after suffering a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL in Week 14 last season. He was limited during the practices of Weeks 8 and 9 but ultimately sat out for those two games. Coming off a BYE, the team had until Wednesday, November 12, to activate Overshown; otherwise, he will revert to season-ending injured reserve.

According to Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys have activated DeMarvion Overshown from the PUP list. He is expected to make his season debut in Week 11 against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football. Originally eying a Thanksgiving return, Overshown will return 2.5 weeks earlier than expected, 11 months after suffering a significant injury that could have sidelined him for the entire season
