NFL news, injury updates: Rising Cowboys star DeMarvion Overshown will have season-ending surgery after tearing ACL, PCL, MCL..

The playoff field is starting to take shape as Week 14 of the NFL season winds down.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially earned a postseason spot on Sunday afternoon after their win against the Carolina Panthers. That made them the second NFC team to make it in, along with the Detroit Lions. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs — who won their ninth consecutive division title on Sunday night with a bank-in kick — have earned spots in the AFC already.

Several teams were eliminated on Sunday, too, including the New York Jets. They’ve not been to the playoffs now since 2010, which is the longest active drought in the NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL and MLB.

Rising Cowboys star DeMarvion Overshown was quickly ruled out Monday night against the Bengals after suffering a knee injury, and on Tuesday morning, Jerry Jones said season-ending surgery would be necessary. The second-year linebacker got his right leg pinned under a pile of players during a tackle and remained down on the field in pain after the play, reportedly tearing his ACL, MCL and PCL on the play.

A third-round pick in 2023, Overshown missed his rookie season with an ACL tear in his left knee. Overshown’s thrived in his first NFL season this year with five sacks, five quarterback hits, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a pick 6 in 12 games.

Overshown’s 2025 season is seriously in doubt.

Derek Carr’s season may be over.

The Saints quarterback left their win over the New York Giants early on Sunday after he landed directly on his left wrist and arm. Carr was scrambling for a first down when he hurdled over three other players, and he remained down on the field clearly in a lot of pain before he walked off.

Carr didn’t return, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Monday that Carr has a “significant” fracture to his left, non-throwing hand. He’ll reportedly miss “at least the next several weeks.”

While the Saints have won three of their last four games, they sit at just 5-8 on the season. Without Carr down the stretch, securing a playoff berth will likely be incredibly difficult.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee after leaving Sunday’s 28-13 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a cart with an air cast on his left leg after being injured on a late hit that surprisingly didn’t draw a flag.

Initial fears were that O’Connell may have suffered a season-ending injury. But he hopes to play in Week 15’s Monday night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

O’Connell was shoved in the back late by Bucs defensive end Calijah Kancey while scrambling. Kancey hit O’Connell two steps after O’Connell got rid of the ball, but he somehow didn’t draw a penalty.

Desmond Ridder came in to replace O’Connell.

The injury is just the latest for the Raiders at quarterback this season. On the bright side, though, they are currently on track to earn the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft next spring. That has to count for something.
