The former Longhorn walked to the sideline but eventually left the game on a cart and did not return. Furthermore, the Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken reported that the team fears that Overshown may have torn his ACL, which would effectively put an end to his rookie season. An MRI is needed to confirm these suspicions, however.
Overshown was drafted 90th overall in the 3rd round and had been one of Dallas' training camp stars up to this point, making plays on defense and special teams. Cowboys LB Micah Parsons listed him as a potential playmaker that he had been mentoring throughout camp after the rookie picked off two passes in a single practice. He had six total tackles in the Cowboys' previous game vs. the Jaguars and three tackles before exiting on Saturday.
A former safety, the 6-3, 229-pound linebacker registered 96 tackles, four sacks and five pass breakups in his final season with UT.
