Overview
- DeMarvion Overshown returned to the Cowboys’ lineup on Monday and made a pivotal fourth‑quarter interception while leading the team with six tackles.
- The interception and multiple third‑down stops helped seal a 38‑21 win and marked Overshown’s first game back after a hamstring setback that lasted about six weeks.
- Rookie Jaishawn Barham was removed from the green‑dot play‑caller role and saw only 14 snaps as coaches limited his duties because opponents have exposed his coverage weaknesses.
- Shemar James started in the green‑dot role and played 46 snaps, a change driven by his run‑stop production and the team’s desire for a more dependable play‑caller on defense.
- Overshown’s long injury history and recent personal losses were cited by the player as motivation for his return, and the Cowboys will likely keep rotating linebackers to balance health, coverage matchups and depth.
