FRISCO — The rookie linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, DeMarvion Overshownsuffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the first period of the loss in the preseason game last Saturday against the Seattle Seahawksaccording to a source.
Overshown He was hurt while performing a takedown on the second series of the game, when his knee seemed to falter. He was able to walk off the field on his own, but from the wings to the dressing room he was transferred in the assist car and did not return to the match.

An MRI on Sunday confirmed the team’s fears from Saturday night.
“He’s had an incredible camp,” said the head coach. Mike McCarthy after the 22-14 loss. “It seems like we talk about him almost every day. I hope he’s okay.”
Overshown He was the third round pick for the Cowboysshift No. 90 overall, from last April after a five-year career in the University of Texas where he lined up as a safety, linebacker and quarterback pressure specialist. The Cowboys they planned to use that versatility in special teams employing Overshown as a core player, but he had also shown in training camp practices that he could potentially help out on defense.
His injury leaves the Cowboys with fewer bodies and more inexperience at linebacker with Leighton Vander Esch as the most experienced player, as he begins his sixth campaign. Micah Parsons He’s still listed as a linebacker, but most of his action comes as a specialist to rush quarterbacks down the edge. Malik Jefferson he suffered a foot injury in the opening game of the preseason.
Lo Cowboys they expect Damone Clark start next to Vander Esschbut now they expect Gabriel Cox I Devin Harper They can play bigger roles, or they’ll be forced to seek veteran help in free agency.
The rookie tight end John Stephens Jr.who was fighting for a roster spot, also suffered an ACL tear in the loss to Seattle.
