Find a woman trainer who can get you back in 12 months, let her move in, play the piano for her, take her out, get your head on right by visiting your old stomping grounds, rehab, rehab some more, go to dinner with her, fix her car up (but leave the dimple ding in the driver side door), sleep with her, dump her, reconcile with old girlfriend, figure out old girlfriend only wants your money, go on talk show and credit trainer, abruptly leave during live interview, break up with girlfriend on way out, go find your trainer woman, tell her you want her back and you’re staying with the cowboys, hook up,marry her, and we’ll see you back out on the football field where you’ll be back in all star form with a big payday living happily ever after injury free.
I hate and love this... Cuz Worst movie ever with one of my favorite celebs.. Lol

The biggest problem with the Overshown injury is that the Cowboys just lost a player that was playing at an elite level for cheap. The Cowboys always seems to find a player Ferguson/Diggs/Bland that have a second season at an All-Pro/Pro Bowl level. Now if he somehow makes it back the Cowboys will have to pay him in 2027.

Jaylon was never the same player after his injury and apparently this one is almost as bad
Jaylon's problem was not the ligament damage, that heals eventually.................his problem was the nerve damage that left him with drop foot.

I have not heard anything about nerve damage with Overshown, if there is then yeah, he is screwed.

I’m surprised surgery is scheduled this early. They are not even waiting for range of motion or the swelling to subside. That means the knee is completely destroyed :thumbdown:

He may recover from this to play in 2026 but he will never be the same. That knee will always give him problems during that much physical stress.
I imagine once they took a look at the MRI and saw all three ligaments were torn, it was obvious he was going to need a full recon.

Chubb returned but isn't the same or even close to it.

He's averaging 3.1 YPA this year.

To show how bad that is Zeke is averaging 3.2 YPA.
Chubb tore the ACL and the MCL if I recall, the PCL was still intact which is very beneficial for lateral movement.

Even with the PCL not injured, tearing the other two turned him from a probowler into Zeke 2.0.....................he aint anywhere close to what he was.

What a dam shame, as a fellow UT alumni I think I am going to go puke now.:facepalm:

Just devastating. This has been such a cruel season.

I get it, players get injured but, c'mon, this has been just ridiculous to the point where it's almost a statistical anomaly.

Things didn't turn out this season, i can accept that. I figure we'd have a lot to look forward to next season, especially after a good draft. The young players already on the team picks up a valuable year's experience and areas become far more solid.

Overshown was one of the players I was banking on for next season. As good as he was this season, he would be a 1st team All Pro in 2025. Then this.

This season is already destroyed. It's like the injury bug is getting an early start on next season. If I was a hired assassin and instructed to make sure the Cowboys fail, I couldn't do a better job than these present circumstances.

What's the chances that he'll be the same? It's too bad but this may be the last we see of his true potential.
Not the same.

I could see him back in October.

definetly going to miss camp.

lots of physical rehab ahead for the kid.

will be back.

Feel really bad for him. This could be career ending. At minimum I don't think we wouild see him until 2026.

This is the tribute to egocentrism, the cowboys are not going to win anything this season but because of the ego of the rusty Jones, MM and some players who only want to win are risking that good players get injured, look now one of the promises in the defense had this tremendous injury, and most likely he will not play until 2026 and who knows if he will be the same again, all because of excessive pride, this team is the spitting image of its owner. Instead of looking for a better position in the draft they only ruin the team more, a total disgrace,

Overshown needed the reps and there was no way he should’ve sat…but that said…if Jerry has any value being a dictator, it’s this: He can command the team to tank and everyone in the org has to follow orders. Why is Overshown, CeeDee, etc…being exposed to hurt/harm? This year is TOAST.
