What happened: Curtis Robinson and Justin Barron were elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game against Washington. The move follows DeMarvion Overshown's hamstring strain in the loss to the Giants.

Why it matters: Losing Overshown thins Dallas' linebacker group early in the regular season and forces an immediate snap redistribution. Bringing up two linebackers at once signals the Cowboys want extra depth ready right away for the Washington matchup.

What to watch: Sunday's inactive list will show how many defensive snaps Robinson and Barron are positioned to handle. Dallas' next injury report will be the next marker on Overshown's return to practice.
