Steelers Cut Former Third-Round Pick Hours After Birthday Tribute, Player Left Speechless

Massive Boost: Cowboys 90-Tackles, 5-Sacks Nears Return, Practice Window Expected to Open Later This Month FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys could be on the verge of regaining one of their most inspiring and dynamic defenders. Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, the team’s reigning Ed Block Courage Award winner, is nearing a long-awaited return to the field after recovering from a devastating triple-ligament knee injury. According to multiple reports, Overshown had another positive checkup this week with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. The Cowboys expect to open his practice window later this month, setting the stage for a potential return to game action by November. Overshown remains on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, and once his 21-day practice window begins, Dallas will have to decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster or keep him sidelined for the year. But the signs are overwhelmingly positive. “We’re getting close,” said offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “You don’t have to worry about D-Mo — he’s always gonna be engaged. He’s a guy that’s going to beat most markers. I do think the timing is getting closer.” Overshown’s recovery has been one of grit and determination. The young linebacker tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL last year — a brutal injury that ended what was shaping up to be a breakout season. Before the setback, he had tallied 90 tackles, 5 sacks, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 defensive touchdown, quickly emerging as one of the Cowboys’ most versatile playmakers. His relentless work ethic through rehab earned him the respect of teammates and coaches alike, culminating in the Ed Block Courage Award, given annually to one player per NFL team who exemplifies courage, sportsmanship, and inspiration. Now, after more than a year of recovery and relentless effort, Overshown appears ready to reclaim his role in Dan Quinn’s defense — and potentially re-energize a Cowboys front seven that’s been searching for another spark alongside Micah Parsons. If all goes as expected, November could mark the return of one of Dallas’ most resilient stories — and one of their most promising defensive weapons.
