  "account": "DeMarvion Overshown continues to struggle with injuries. In Dallas' season opener against the Giants, the rookie pulled up in the fourth quarter with a right hamstring injury. Soft-tissue injuries are difficult to assess and any mention of his name on the injury report is a significant concern. The Cowboys' head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, estimates Overshown will miss 1-2 weeks. The injury occurred during the same game, causing the 28-year-old to visibly express frustration.\n\nOvershown, a third-round pick in 2023, missed his rookie season due to a torn ACL in the preseason. He returned the following season and put together an impressive campaign, finishing with 90 combined tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 5 quarterback hits, 4 pass breakups, 5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 1 interception returned for a touchdown across 13 games. However, a second ACL injury in Week 14 against the Bengals ended his 2024 season, forcing him to miss the first 10 games of the previous season. Upon his return, he made an impact, recording 28 total tackles, including one tackle for loss, over 5 starts.\n\nEarlier in the offseason, Overshown expressed enthusiasm for the season, noting it was the first time in his NFL career he felt fully healthy. He even received the green dot for the first time in his time with the Cowboys, signaling the team's belief in his potential to become a defensive anchor. Injuries to players like Overshown are always difficult to watch, particularly when the injury is a hamstring strain, known for its slow healing time and risk of re-aggravation if a player is rushed back too soon. The Cowboys now face the Commanders and Ravens before a road game against the Texans, hoping to have Overshown back on the field by then.",
