Quick Facts

2026 Outlook
DeMarvion Overshown enters 2026 as one of the Cowboys' projected starting inside linebackers and is in a crucial contract year. Despite suffering two major knee injuries in the past, he is still viewed as one of the league's respected names at the position. When healthy, Overshown's pursuit and instincts make him an X-factor that forces opposing offenses to do extra game-plan work. Having a healthy offseason is a big step in the right direction, and putting together a full healthy season in 2026 will be the most important thing for both his career and the Cowboys' defense (per Cowboys Depth Chart: Is there any proven inside linebacker depth?). Overshown is turning heads at training camp in 2026, though questions remain about his LB2 partner as the Cowboys evaluate Dee Winters (trade acquisition), Jaishawn Barham (Day 2 pick), and others.
