A lot will depend on how he rehabilitates, but with such a serious injury in early December, a mid-season timetable would be the best-case scenario, but it's still a risk a team could take on him. It is unclear whether he hopes to hasten his return.
Overshawn has been one of the few bright spots in a dark year. The second-year linebacker emerged as the team's best pass rusher after Micah Parsons suffered a season-ending injury.

He now joins Parsons and Dak Prescott on injured reserve, as Cowboys fans want this entire season to be over.
