"A wave of injuries to key starters, coupled with underwhelming performances from the replacements, has left DC Matt Eberflus' group porous and vulnerable against both the run and pass. However, help is finally on the way. Ahead of their Week 11 Monday Night Football matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Cowboys have activated LB DeMarvion Overshown and rookie CB Shavon Revel from injured reserve."
"Before suffering a torn ACL in 2024, DeMarvion Overshown was one of the brightest young stars on the Cowboys' defense. The former Texas Longhorn brought an infectious energy to the field; a blend of sideline-to-sideline speed, ferocious tackling, and an instinct for making momentum-shifting plays. Now, after a long and determined rehab process, Overshown is ready to make his long-awaited return. The Cowboys' linebacker corps has been one of the weakest links this season, plagued by missed assignments and poor pursuit angles."
"These two returnees come at a pivotal moment for a defense trying to rediscover its identity. Combined with recent trade acquisitions DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson, Dallas is looking to inject new life into a group that desperately needs playmakers. With Overshown's athleticism and Revel's coverage ability, the Cowboys are hoping this infusion of talent helps them turn the tide and keep their playoff hopes alive."
The Dallas defense has struggled with inconsistency in 2025 after widespread injuries and underwhelming play from replacements, leaving the unit porous against the run and pass. Head coach Matt Eberflus' group has sought reinforcements through trades and roster moves. The Cowboys activated LB DeMarvion Overshown and rookie CB Shavon Revel from injured reserve ahead of Week 11, adding athleticism and coverage ability. Recent acquisitions DT Quinnen Williams and LB Logan Wilson provide additional playmaking and stability. Overshown's sideline-to-sideline speed, tackling and coverage flexibility could expand schematic options. The combined infusion of talent aims to shore up linebacker play, improve pursuit angles, and preserve Dallas' playoff chances.
