Former Texas star DeMarvion Overshown teams with Jerry Jones' grandson for Cowboys' No. 0
Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown revealed this week how he landed the coveted No. 0 jersey, crediting a key assist from an unexpected source: team owner Jerry Jones' grandson, Paxton Anderson. Overshown, speaking to reporters at the Cowboys' facility, said he reached out to Anderson to help advocate for his jersey switch. 'I called Paxton and told him I needed his help to push it over the edge,' Overshown said, smiling. 'He made sure the right people heard about it.' Advertisement Jones' grandson, Paxton Anderson, joined the Texas Longhorns as a Division I wide receiver in 2020 after a standout high school career at Highland Park and was teammates with DeMarvion Overshown during his time in Austin. Anderson was part of the Longhorns' roster through the 2023 season and graduated in 2024. The NFL began allowing players to wear No. 0 last season, making it a popular choice among players seeking a fresh start or a unique identity. Overshown, who missed his rookie campaign with a knee injury, said the number represents a new chapter as he returns to the field. Many Dallas Cowboys fans believed that owner Jerry Jones and the team's marketing department were holding the No. 0 jersey in reserve to avoid confusion with the double-zero '00' worn by mascot Rowdy in promotional materials and appearances. However, as Patrik Walker of reports, 'that was never actually true." While Jones initially referred to No. 0 as 'Rowdy's number' and declined DeMarvion Overshown's request to wear it last season, the real reason for the delay was not to protect the mascot's branding, but rather due to other internal considerations—such as evaluating which player would be the right fit for the never-before used new number. Rowdy continues to wear '00,' a number not available to NFL players, while Overshown has now made history as the first Cowboys player to don No. 0. Overshown, a third-round pick out of Texas in 2024, is expected to compete for a significant role in the Cowboys' defense this season. He missed his entire rookie year due to a torn ACL. Overhshown previously dawned No. 13, for the Cowboys, coming out making an electric debut in week 1 last season. The former Longhorn tallied up 11 tackles, two QB hits, a tackle for loss and, a sack against the Cleveland Browns.

DeMarvion Overshown is making progress in his rehab but knows it's "a process"
Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is trying to come back from the ACL, MCL and PCL he tore in his right knee in Week 14. Despite his recent declaration that he wants to compete for comeback player of the year, Overshown's 2025 season is in jeopardy. 'I know it's a process; it's something we're not rushing just because I look good,' Overshown said, via Tommy Yarrish of the team website. 'There's no need to rush the process. I'm going to come back when I'm 100 percent, when I'm ready, when I know I can tough the field and not have to look down and worry about my knee.' Overshown knows what he's in for, having torn the ACL in his left knee in the preseason before his rookie season in 2023. He is optimistic about where he is. He began light jogging this week, and he said he's shuffling and backpedaling. 'It's going real good,' Overshown said. 'I think it really couldn't be any better. If it was better, I'd probably be out there playing right now. Where I'm at in my rehab, in my process, it's where I'm supposed to be plus some.'

Cowboys considering C.J. Mosley to fill linebacker void after overshown injury
Cowboys consider Mosley after Overshown injury (Image via: Getty Images) The Dallas Cowboys are entering the 2025 season with a major concern at linebacker after DeMarvion Overshown suffered a devastating knee injury late in 2024, tearing his ACL, MCL, and PCL. His return timeline remains uncertain, leaving the defense without one of its most promising young talents. With limited depth behind him, Dallas is now searching for immediate reinforcements. Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion overshown faces uncertain return in 2025 Cowboys' BEST KEPT SECRET, Javonte Williams HYPE & CJ Mosley Interest? | Dallas Cowboys Rumors Overshown underwent surgery in December and is not expected to return until midseason at the earliest. Even if he does make it back in time, there is no guarantee he will be able to perform at his pre-injury level. The Cowboys currently have Kenneth Murray and Jack Sanborn as primary options at linebacker, but neither has consistently proven themselves as long-term starters in the NFL. This has led to speculation about a potential move in free agency. Veteran linebacker C.J. Mosley, who was released by the New York Jets earlier this offseason, is being linked to the Cowboys as a potential signing. NFL Trade Rumors' Logan Ulrich listed Mosley as a likely target for Dallas, citing his experience and production. Mosley, a former first-round pick, earned four Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Baltimore Ravens. He signed an $85 million deal with the Jets in 2019 and was named second-team All-Pro in 2022. Despite dealing with injuries in 2024, he previously posted three seasons with 152 or more tackles and recorded a strong 90.6 coverage grade over 600 snaps in 2023. With $26.9 million in effective cap space, the Cowboys have the flexibility to bring in a veteran like Mosley without financial strain. While Mosley turns 33 next month and is no longer in his prime, his experience could provide stability to a linebacker group that currently lacks proven depth. The Cowboys' aggressive offseason, including the trade for wide receiver George Pickens, suggests a win-now approach. Signing Mosley would align with that strategy, offering a short-term solution while Overshown recovers.

2025 schedule: 3 Elite passing teams may face Cowboys with no Diggs, Overshown, Revel
2025 schedule: 3 Elite passing teams may face Cowboys with no Diggs, Overshown, Revel The wait is over, Dallas Cowboys fans. The NFL's 2025 regular season schedule has been released and the Cowboys have little time to waste with just over two months away from training camp. As many know by now, the new season starts off with a bang because Dallas is scheduled in the season opener against the rival Philadelphia Eagles. The defending Super Bowl champs will test the Cowboys right out of the gate with zero grace awarded to Dallas' new coaching staff. Analysis of this Week 1 NFC East matchup has already begun with the Cowboys only owning one clear, albeit conditional, advantage. Given their own circumstances, the Cowboys were hoping for an easy start to the 2025 campaign. Aside from the new coaching staff hoping to acclimate in Dallas, the Cowboys also have a few pivotal players who may be facing a late start. Cornerback Trevon Diggs, recovering from offseason knee surgery, and star linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, working back from a serious knee injury of his own, could both miss time early in the season. Diggs could potentially miss the first few games of the season while Overshown could miss as much as the entire first half. There's optimism Diggs' recovery could get him back in training camp at some point in time but as it stands today the Cowboys should probably just hope for the best and prepare for the worst. As if that isn't difficult enough to overcome, one of the Cowboys' top draft picks, Shavon Revel, is on a slow recovery timeline himself. He, too, could miss time at the start of the season, further depleting the Cowboys' CB ranks early in the 2025 season. With all three players potentially out through the first four weeks of the season, the Cowboys' defense could be significantly undermanned against the Eagles, Giants, Bears and Packers. Matt Eberflus, Dallas' new defensive coordinator, will already be facing a tough task trying to elevate the 28th-ranked defense in Year 1, but the absence of these three makes that rebuild all the more difficult. Even if one or two of them can get cleared by the first game, they'll likely be missing the practice time and reps needed to hit the ground running in the new scheme. It's safe to say the games played early in the season will look much different than those played late and that has as much to do with familiarity in the scheme as it does with player personnel. With any luck injuries will be more on Dallas' side in 2025 and week-over-week improvement can be seen. The Cowboys' first four weeks of games is a very difficult stretch against three of the NFL's best offenses. Not only will the offense be tasked with keeping up on the scoreboard, but the defense will possibly be doing everything undermanned at some of the most important positions. It's not an exaggeration to say the Eagles, Packers and Bears have some of the NFL deepest and most talented WR rooms in the NFL. The idea Dallas might be without two of their top three CBs when the face them is a tough pill to swallow and difficult hurdle to clear. With any luck Diggs and Revel will handle their rehab with ferocity and resolve and be medically cleared in time for training camp. It's an "all hands on deck" opening slate of games for the Cowboys because the schedule makers did them no favors. Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!
