Overshown sustained the injury in last season\u2019s Week 14 home contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going real good, I think it really couldn\u2019t be any better,\u201d Overshown said Thursday, via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallascowboys.com\/news\/demarvion-overshown-on-injury-rehab-learning-from-matt-eberflus-more\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com<\/a>. \u201cIf it was better, I\u2019d probably be out there playing right now. Where I\u2019m at in my rehab, in my process, it\u2019s where I\u2019m supposed to be plus some.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overshown, 24, missed his entire rookie season after sustaining a torn ACL in his left knee during the preseason. That\u2019s now two devastating knee injuries for Overshown to begin his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/pro\/category\/nfl\/news\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> career. Overshown, who returned to the rehab group during the team\u2019s OTAs, isn\u2019t rushing the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know it\u2019s a process; it\u2019s something we\u2019re not rushing just because I look good,\u201d Overshown said. \u201cThere\u2019s no need to rush the process. I\u2019m going to come back when I\u2019m 100%, when I\u2019m ready, when I know I can tough the field and not have to look down and worry about my knee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeMarvion Overshown working to make 2025 comeback<\/p>\n<p>Overshown was a bright spot on the Cowboys\u2019 defense this past season. Overshown tallied 90 tackles (56 solo), eight tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks, one pick six and a forced fumble. Overshown became the third Cowboy to record at least five sacks, an interception, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble in the same season, joining\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/demarcus-ware-33758\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DeMarcus Ware<\/a>\u00a0(2006) and\u00a0Greg Ellis\u00a0(1999).<\/p>\n<p>Right now, Overshown feels he \u201ccan do anything and everything.\u201d He credited Britt Brown, Cowboys associate athletic trainer and director of rehabilitation, for helping him in his recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you ask me, I can do anything and everything,\u201d Overshown said. \u201cBut Britt, he dials it down, I started doing a little light jog this week, so that\u2019s a plus. I\u2019m shuffling, backpedaling, doing all the small things, the beginning of the stages, I\u2019m building into it<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thinking doing it the smart way, so maybe starting on PUP, maybe not if I\u2019m feeling great, but like I said, I\u2019m going to let Britt, the magic man, do the work. I\u2019m just going to come up here and grind like I\u2019m playing tomorrow\u2026 whenever they unleash me, I\u2019m going to be ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown feels good about where he is in his recovery five months removed from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2066],"tags":[230,229,257,2461,24747,7,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-93248","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas-cowboys","8":"tag-cowboys","9":"tag-dallas","10":"tag-dallas-cowboys","11":"tag-dallascowboys","12":"tag-demarvion-overshown-18-arp","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114602579307218608","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=93248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/93248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/93249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=93248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=93248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
