“I know I can't wait to see No. 0 out there running around, and I know he can't wait,” Schottenheimer said. “I do think the time is getting closer.”

The Cowboys’ staff has consistently praised his attitude, discipline, and determination throughout the rehab process. Now, it appears that his patience — and hard work — are finally paying off.
A Key Piece for Dallas Defense
Before his injury, Overshown was drawing attention for his versatility and explosiveness at linebacker. The rookie out of Texas showcased strong instincts, quickness, and a knack for making plays both in coverage and pursuit. His return could provide a much-needed boost for the Cowboys’ defense, which has been searching for consistency in the middle of the field.
Coaches and teammates alike have often spoken about Overshown’s energy and leadership off the field — qualities that could quickly reignite the defensive unit once he’s cleared to play.
Fans Eager for His Comeback
Cowboys Nation has been vocal in their anticipation for Overshown’s return, flooding social media with messages of support. With each update, the optimism grows that the young linebacker could rejoin the lineup sooner than expected.
As the Cowboys prepare for the heart of the regular season, having Overshown back in the mix could be a turning point — both in performance and morale.
