Overshown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Denver, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Overshown was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday and logged a trio of limited practices this week. However, he's not ready to make his season debut and may not do so until utilizing his entire 21-day practice window. That means he might not see game action until Monday, Nov. 17 against Las Vegas.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Return in play after bye
Rotowire
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Wednesday that Overshown (knee) could return Week 11 versus the Raiders, after Dallas' bye, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
Overshown remains on the reserve/PUP list while working his way back from a torn ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee suffered last December. Early in the regular season, Overshown said that he anticipated returning to action before Thanksgiving, a timetable that seems to still be realistic. Once cleared to retake the field, Overshown's presence will provide a notable boost for the Cowboys' defense, which has struggled significantly to open the 2025 campaign.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Out first four games, at minimum
Rotowire
The Cowboys placed Overshown (ACL) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Overshown will have to miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result of the transaction, making him eligible to return Week 5 against the Jets on Oct. 5 at the earliest. The 2023 third-round pick is working his way back from a right knee injury suffered Week 14 of last season, when he tore his ACL, MCL and PCL, so it wouldn't be surprising if he requires longer than the four-game minimum to get healthy.

Cowboys' DeMarvion Overshown: Hoping for midseason return
Rotowire
Overshown (knee) intends to play in 2025 but is hoping for a midseason return and will likely begin the regular season on the PUP list, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Overshown met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in July, and the meeting reinforced the linebacker's plan to suit up in 2025 after tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL in December. If Overshown is placed on the PUP/reserve list to begin the regular season, he would miss a minimum of four games, but that move would be precipitated by an official transaction from the team.
