"Going down, I felt all the ligaments tearing one by one by one,"
"If this is going to be the last time I'm on the field, I want to be able to walk off,"
"I don't want no cart because this is it for the 2024 season for me."
DeMarvion Overshown suffered catastrophic right knee damage on Dec. 9, 2024, when his knee was caved in by a Bengals offensive lineman. MRI confirmed a torn ACL and MCL, the posterior cruciate ligament ripped from the bone, and only the lateral collateral ligament remained attached. He could not move the leg and experienced intense pain, but he pounded his fist on the turf and refused a medical cart, insisting on walking off the field. Overshown finished the season as the Cowboys' second-leading tackler and joined DeMarcus Ware and Greg Ellis in a rare defensive stat line. He immediately turned focus toward rehabilitation and the 2025 season during the slow walk to the locker room.
