Cornerback Trevon Diggs and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown were among the players placed on the active/physically unable to perform list by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday.
Both players are still recovering from knee surgeries, Overshown in December and Diggs in January. Neither was expected to be ready for the start of the season and it’s unclear if Overshown will play at all in 2025.
The Cowboys also placed CB Josh Butler on the PUP list and rookie CB Shavon Revel on the Non-Football Injury list. Butler and Revel are also recovering from torn ACLs. The injury ended Revel’s final season at East Carolina.
Overshown underwent surgery to repair three ligaments in his right knee. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament in the Cowboys’ Week 14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Diggs missed six of the last seven games last season with a left knee injury and was eventually moved to injured reserve. The surgery he needed was a chondral tissue graft procedure, which the Cowboys’ website said “requires considerable time from the initial injury.”
Diggs, 26, recorded two interceptions and 42 tackles in 11 starts in 2024. His injury was to the same knee in which he sustained a torn ACL in practice two games into the 2023 season.
In 58 career games (57 starts) since Dallas drafted Diggs in the second round in 2020, he has recorded 20 interceptions, 63 passes defensed, 215 tackles, one sack and two forced fumbles. He is a two-time Pro Bowler and was named first-team All-Pro in 2021, when he led the league with 11 picks (two returned for touchdowns).
Overshown, 24, was having a breakout campaign in 2024. The 2023 third-round pick recorded 90 tackles (56 solo), eight tackles for loss, five sacks, a fumble recovery and a pick-six in 13 games (12 starts).
At the time of his surgery, then head coach Mike McCarthy said it was likely Overshown would miss the entire 2025 season. The Cowboys are now eyeing a mid-to-late 2025 return.
The Cowboys open training camp in Oxnard, Calif., on Tuesday.
