Mike McCarthy: "Very realistic" DeMarvion Overshown misses the 2025 season

Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is set for surgery after suffering a severe knee injury on Monday night and head coach Mike McCarthy said the second-year player has "a long road" ahead of him in terms of getting back on the field.

That road may extend through the end of next season. Overshown reportedly tore his right ACL, MCL, and PCL during the loss to the Bengals and McCarthy was asked at his press conference if it's likely that Overshown will miss the 2025 campaign.

“I think that’s fair," McCarthy said. "Because of time of year, obviously we’re in December. You have the surgery and the rehab is a long process. That’s very realistic."

McCarthy said Overshown's talent as a player speaks for itself and called the 2023 third-round pick "such a bright light" while talking about how much the Cowboys will miss him.
