To date, no Cowboys&#8217; player had done so, but the idea of Overshown being &#8216;Agent 0&#8217; was exciting. Unfortunately, Jerry Jones put a stop to it, saying that\u00a0the number belonged to the team mascot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dgapugfwi\">Thankfully, Jones either read the room on his own, or was made aware of how many of these jerseys would sell. Either way, he made the right call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_46fmam3fd\">Overshown is currently recovering from a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL, which originally put his 2025 campaign in doubt. He&#8217;s been far more optimistic about his chances of returning early, even saying he&#8217;s\u00a0not ready to rule out a Week 1 return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DeMarvion Overshown was seen sporting his new jersey.
