FRISCO, Texas – DeMarvion Overshown Returns to Practice

DeMarvion Overshown is officially back on the practice field, marking a key step in his recovery from a torn ACL. The linebacker, who made history by becoming the first player in Dallas Cowboys’ history to wear the No. 0 jersey, has not played in nearly a year, as it has been 317 days since his injury occurred. Excited about his comeback, Overshown expressed gratitude with a smile, saying, “Ain’t God good, man? It’s a blessing just to be out there.”

Overshown’s injury did not just sideline him from football; it was a challenging period that included personal milestones, such as getting engaged and celebrating the birth of his youngest son. These experiences, along with his faith, helped him stay positive during tough times. Speaking about returning to practice, he said, “Football is more than just a game, it’s a way of life,” highlighting the passion and energy he brings to the field.

Now that he is back, the Cowboys have 21 days to decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster. If not, he will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. Overshown is targeting a specific date for his comeback—the highly anticipated matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 17. With excitement, he said, “Monday night prime time… [Agent] 0 will be making his debut, and I’m excited for it.”

Despite facing doubts about his recovery, Overshown is confident in his abilities. He claims to be stronger, faster, and more explosive since the injury, saying, “I’m all of it.” He understands that while he needs to regain his full conditioning, he is focused on contributing to the team’s success right away. As he puts it, he knows how to play one way—100% full speed.”

This weekend, the Cowboys will face a tough test against the Denver Broncos. Following their remarkable comeback victory last week, the Broncos will challenge Dallas’s offense, which has shown improvement. Fans are eager to see how Overshown’s return will impact the game, adding to the anticipation of what promises to be an exciting matchup.

As the Cowboys prepare for the game, Overshown’s presence back in practice has brought optimism to the team, setting the stage for an eventful remainder of the season.
