“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.”

Overshown, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury during the 2023 preseason, has been steadily working his way back. 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.

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
