News: ESPN: Sources: Cowboys' Overshown tore ACL, MCL and PCL ligaments

[rambo2]

Injuries this year are beyond insane

This is the modern game of football. Watch the top qbs go down late in the season or in the playoffs.

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.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Good lord, he needs a complete reconstruction. His career could be over.

Total knee recon with all three ligaments torn is about a 2 year recovery/rehab.

The dude will not play in 2025....................we are looking at fall 2026 at the earliest.

 

[Beast_from_East]

It sounds like a possible career ender to me. Total knee rebuild. Will be tough. Feel so bad for that guy.

Hopefully he or his agent took out an insurance policy that pays you a large settlement in the event you suffer a career ending injury.

 

[Beast_from_East]

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

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.

Overshown is probably done. Not gonna be the same player. That's a big injury. Sux

 

[plasticman]

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.

He will be back.

never gonna be 100 percent.

but he’s a gifted athlete.

 

[Dutton]

You can look at his legs and tell he is not built for a linebacker position.

 

[DuncanIso]

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.

 

[Runwildboys]

Heart broken for that kid... I don't understand why they did not use a cart to get him off the field it was obvious it was a bad knee injury

Maybe his adrenaline masked some of the pain?

 

[J-man]

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

 

[dmq]

Jerry gonna snooker him at his most vulnerable to an over the top extension.

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,

 

[charron]

gotta shut him down till 2026

 

[OGSixshooter]

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.
