Your Sunday morning Cowboys news.
Overshown previously said he hoped to be back by Thanksgiving, it seems like his doctors share at least some of his optimism.
Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown tore the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee in Week 14, which put his entire 2025 season in jeopardy. Overshown always has had a positive outlook, and it appears the medical staff has given him a positive update.
“Good news from the Doc! We getting active THIS szn,” Overshown wrote on Instagram.

Hoyt looks at the position battles at RB, DL, CB, S, and TE. Here’s his take on what’s happening at tight end:
At 6-7, Cowboys tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford has a reputation that precedes him. He entered last season as someone the Cowboys, from a physical stance, believed they could count on as a blocker.
Heading into this season, the Cowboys are raising their expectations for him.

He had eight catches for 65 yards in his rookie season. Last year, Schoonmaker finished with 27 catches for 241 yards and a touchdown.
Can Schoonmaker take another step? Or will Spann-Ford grow enough in Year 2 to overtake him as the second tight end behind starter Jake Ferguson?
Two of the six players that could be on the outs after training camp.
LB Damone Clark
Damone Clark has 24 starts with the Cowboys for two different defensive coordinators, playing over 1,300 defensive snaps and nearly 500 special teams plays. He has never been able to solidify his spot as one of the top guys at the position, however.
Dallas continued to draft players and sign veterans to play ahead of him, and this offseason, they signed Jack Sanborn, traded up to draft Shemar James, and acquired Kenneth Murray through...
