What happened: Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown did not travel with the team to Green Bay and has been downgraded to out for Sunday's regular-season game against the Packers, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Dallas had initially listed Overshown as questionable on Friday's final injury report after he participated in team warm-ups and individual drills.

Why it matters: Overshown has been working back from a hamstring strain suffered in September that already forced the Cowboys to add linebacker depth earlier in the season. His absence leaves the 2-3 Dallas defense shorthanded at the second level heading into Green Bay.

By the numbers: Dallas enters Sunday's contest at 2-3 on the 2026 regular season after allowing 419 total yards and 24 points in Week 5.

What to watch: Dallas faces Green Bay on Sunday without Overshown in the linebacker rotation, shifting focus to his recovery status ahead of next week's practice window.
