The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 27-20 in dramatic fashion on "Monday Night Football," but they may have taken an even bigger hit after linebacker DeMarvion Overshown suffered a potentially serious knee injury.
The turning point in the game came when the Cowboys blocked a Bengals' punt late in the fourth quarter. However, cornerback Amani Oruwariye attempted to scoop the ball up but muffed it, leading to Cincinnati recovering and giving it a fresh set of downs. Ja'Marr Chase scored a minute later, giving the Bengals the lead.
However, this may not be Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys' biggest concern.
Overshown, who has become an emerging star for the Dallas defense, left the game early in the fourth quarter after injuring his knee. The initial concern is that Overshown suffered a torn ACL, the same injury that forced him to miss the entire 2023 season.
After the loss, Overshown took to social media to ask for prayers following his new injury.
"Wouldn’t want this for anyone else!" Overshown wrote on X. "One of God’s Toughest Soldiers Keep me in your prayers…"
