Week 7 DeMarvion Overshown Return Expected; Cowboys Open Marist Liufau’s Practice Window

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to get linebacker DeMarvion Overshown back for Week 7, while also opening the practice window for linebacker Marist Liufau. Overshown has missed five consecutive games due to a hamstring injury sustained in the regular-season opener. Liufau, who was converted to outside linebacker this offseason, is working his way back from a broken forearm suffered during training camp.

While receiving defensive reinforcements, Dallas will be without starting linebacker Dee Winters. Team COO Stephen Jones confirmed that Winters is expected to miss time after suffering an Achilles strain. Backup linebackers Jaishawn Barham and Shemar James are available as the 2-4 Cowboys prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.
