The Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season took a horrible turn on Monday Night Football when linebacker\u00a0D<\/a>eMarvion Overshown suffered a knee injury\u00a0that immediately looked like trouble, as the rising star was in visible pain on the field.<\/p>\n

After further testing on Tuesday, it was confirmed just how gruesome Overshown’s injury was: He suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and PCL. Not only does the news means he’s out for the season but it even puts his 2025 into question, which means many things.<\/p>\n

On a colder note and from the Cowboys’ point of view, it means\u00a0linebacker has become one of the team’s top needs going into 2025, as Overshown’s timetable to return will be difficult to predict.<\/p>\n

For Overshown, it means he’s got a humongous challenge ahead. He’ll have to undergo a tough rehab that will demand a lot from him and he’ll have to overcome the mental challenges that come with back-to-back season-ending injuries.<\/p>\n

But believe it or not, there’s a small detail that provides a silver lining for Overshown amid the nightmarish situation he’s facing.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0FOX Sports’\u00a0<\/em>Jordan Schultz, “there was no meniscus damage to his knee and the articular surface looks good. In other words, no nerve damage.”<\/p>\n

The report is highly important, as having nerve damage would mean Overshown’s entire career would be in jeopardy. By no means does it mean the rehab will be easy but it certainly helps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
