Cowboys Injury Updates: Overshown Hooker Status | Dallas Cowboys News

Dallas Cowboys defense got a major injury reprieve after their tough loss to the Giants—key starters DeMarvion Overshown and Malik Hooker aren’t facing long-term absences. Overshown, who strained his hamstring, should return in 1-2 weeks, opening up more snaps for rookie Jaishawn Barham, who impressed with six tackles. Hooker’s initial “broken forearm” scare turned out to be an elbow fracture requiring surgery—but the team’s hopeful he’ll be back within the same window. P.J. Locke steps in at safety, while rookie Caleb Downs gets more slot time during passing downs. While the defense struggled, especially on third downs, avoiding major injuries early in the season gives Dallas a crucial chance to course-correct without losing key players.
