The Dallas Cowboys are facing a critical situation with linebacker DeMarvion Overshown suffering a severe knee injury that could sideline him for the remainder of the 2024 season and potentially all of 2025. This has prompted the front office to reconsider their linebacker strategy.

Executive vice president Stephen Jones acknowledged the need for improvements at the position, especially with the aging Eric Kendricks and the promising rookie Marist Liufau stepping up this season.
