Cowboys make MULTIPLE Moves - Major Cowboys Updates...

The Dallas Cowboys have made multiple moves ahead of their Sunday night football matchup versus the Green Bay Packers. And while they are on their flight to Wisconsin, one key player on defense is not joining them as we have the official announcement on a specific injury on defense that continues in a line in a history of disappointments in the injury facet for this player, DeMar vion Overshown. So we talk about that and so much more all here today on Cowboys Digest. I want to say a quick thank you to everybody for supporting the show as of late, watching, tuning in and of course commenting liking whatever it might be I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart you are allowing me to do this job every day and i really do appreciate it but let's get to the news we'll be live tomorrow for the game and unfortunately Demarvion Overshown will not be there he was officially ruled out for the game against the Green Bay Packers i guess officially is a loose term we know he's officially ruled out because he's not on the flight now we again don't have the official confirmation from the Cowboys and all that stuff but we do know that Overshown not on the flight to Green Bay he is going to be ruled out for the game again not officially yet will be and this is obviously a huge huge blow not just to the defense but just to the confidence I've had in Demarvion Overshown that he can actually stay healthy across a period of time it seems like every time we put him out here ultimately it leads to an injury now the Cowboys also made some other moves they elevated Darion Kendrick and safety Wanya Thomas which talk about and the reasoning behind doing that in today's show along with an injury update on Joey Porter which is intriguing as well lots of news to get to before that though i do want to let you know that you should go out there and trade on Calshi guys because it is growing faster and faster every day and i'm very confident in the cowboys to get this win tomorrow evening so i'm trading yes on the dallas cowboys to win this game against the green bay packers an $80 trade gets you $80 in profit so make sure you check them out today and of course on Calshi you're trading directly against other users not the house like an additional sports book which is what makes it amazing plus you're all you're doing really is buying yes or no contracts and the outcome of real life events like sports politics even the weather you can trade on dancing with the stars if you want if you're into that now if you are interested in trying out our presenting sponsor Calshi well guess what we got a deal for you today because if you use the link in the description or in the pinned comment of today's show and then you sign up with accounts right here using digest nfl new users who trade 25 will get 55 instantly added to their account so go check him out today and sign up for one of the fastest growing trade markets in all of the world we appreciate Calshi for sponsoring today's show schottenheimer kind of gave us a little bit of a warning on this um we knew that it was a long shot for both him and kobe durant to play yesterday they hours later ruled out kobe durant as soon as that news came about now we know that marvion overshown is also not going to be on the flight not going to be playing tomorrow for the Dallas Cowboys and it does kind of change up the linebacker depth and I'm curious to see what happens obviously first game with after the you know full team meeting and on top of which Mike Pettine going to have his first time being the defensive assistant that will be there helping out Christian Parker but more importantly some interesting notes on the linebacker room as a whole now that is more or less on the fact that Jayshon Barham was seen with the edge rushers this week and we know that Malachi Lawrence is going to be getting more reps and roles this week doesn't mean that Malachi is going to the middle linebacker area but I would be intrigued to see if he gets a couple of snaps in the middle linebackers space and if Jay Sean Barham gets a couple of snaps in the edge room space now that'd be kind of interesting if you said hey this edge rusher is going to play middle linebacker and then by week five you're saying actually no we're going to flip that and play it this way but I still think that this is a time where you could do it and obviously especially since you were talking so much this week about defensive changes now's the time you can do it so I trust Jayshon in the middle linebacker position but who knows if that's the case inside the Dallas Cowboys organization. Their 2-3 could really, really use a win. I'm not going to say, again, this is a must-win, and I think this is a case scenario where you can go out there and just play your best game, and I feel as though you should win. So that's a big thing there. So not traveling to Green Bay means he is officially out. Going to have to see D. Winters, Jayshon Barham, Shamar James, all of them take on bigger linebacker roles, maybe Malakai. Lawrence takes on somewhat of a middle linebacker role. I doubt it, but who knows? Obviously, there's a lot of things kind of going on in the mind of Christian Parker for this game. Not to say his job is on the line, but it's certainly more at a lens, a looking lens than ever before after the hiring of Mike Pettine. Now you got to go out there and you got to compete. And so it's a tough game because the Packers just really, really put it on the Bears in terms of the air raid offense. And unfortunately, it might get a little harder for Christian Parker. Now, I hopefully this is nothing, but Joey Porter Jr. is now questionable. after an ankle injury he suffered in practice uh he had supposedly been fine all week and then rolled his ankle um in the last day of practice which does kind of suck uh now we'll see whether or not you know he ends up playing i highly expect that he should be good in fact literally just before the injury happened yesterday Christian Parker was talking about how his workload is going to be highly increased here against the Packers so I'm intrigued if that still stays the case given he did roll his ankle even if he does play tomorrow are they going to fully increase it and potentially put that ankle at more risk I don't know for certain what I do know is that the cornerback room is going to be very much looked at I'm talking to Deron Bland because that guy is one play away from making me cut him send him to somewhere else because I cannot deal with what he is putting on the field and the product that he is playing right now, especially alongside when you think about Shevon Revelle Jr. and what he's doing, it's tough. And especially when you think about Christian Parker being a DB's coach, you expect more out of your cornerbacks. It's not the case. Great job for Caleb Downs, but everybody else, question marks. Really, really hope Joey Porter Jr. can play pretty decent against the Packers in his history. But we'll see what ends up transpiring. Now, Wednesday, he was limited. Of course, he had come back from an illness that took him out of the Thursday night football game the last time. full participant on Thursday and then of course suffered that injury on Friday that made him limited and questionable and we still don't know as for you know what exactly we can see here now i do want to go to a comment here from Richard um kind of interesting JPJ was a steal unless he keeps coming up with an injury for instance sick or an ankle injury oh wait richard i'm i wasn't there with you with you last week i'm starting to get that way now this week which does kind of second one other thing that they did was elevate Darien Kendrick for this game a cornerback Kendrick is a guy that I thought was actually going to make the 53 man roster so I'm happy that he is the one getting the elevation and probably does tell you a little bit about the status of Joey Porter and how much they you know are worried about that I want to say that you know this is also just the fact that they have had so many injuries in the cornerback room and also Kobe Durant being out is probably more the reason for Darien Kendrick but when you add And the fact they're also bringing up Wanya Thomas for the safeties, it's intriguing. Now, Darien, again, like a guy that I really thought was going to play for this team on the active roster. He didn't really play much last year, but in the times he played, it was fantastic. Two interceptions last year for the champion, the Seattle Seahawks. So we don't know to the extent of what his, you know, level of play is going to be, how much he will play and all of that. But I think we can obviously sit here and think that this is a time where you wouldn't be shocked with some practice squad guys Not only getting the elevation, but also getting some playing time as well. And the depth is certainly something to look at. Kobe Durant is out. Joey P.J. is questionable. So you get a little bit of a boost. This is the first or rather the second of three straight primetime games for the Dallas Cowboys as they face off against the Packers here on Sunday Night Football. They'll go to Monday Night Football the next week on October 26th against the Eagles. and they'll have back-to-back noon games, two of three of their noon games in this season. So some definitely big primetime games coming. Hopefully they can be up for the task. Want to talk about Wanya Thomas as well. He gets another opportunity. Thomas was a guy who we had talked about and the potential of signing him when all the safety injuries started. They ended up making that move. And of course, now he gets his first elevation of the 2026 season. If we can get him back to his 2025 form, you think you're pretty solid. actually looked pretty solid when we saw him in fact had some good games last year specifically when you look at you know the the game against the the Kansas City Chiefs it was really solid so I think there's definitely some hope that you can kind of see that in a way I am intrigued for the safety room because I want to say they should be under a looking glass as well as much as the cornerbacks in a lot of ways but it's definitely a work in progress in the entirety of the secondary Looking at the safeties in specific, though, you've got Marquis Spell and Caleb Downs and Jalen Thompson, Again, looking like everybody's getting back to their healthy form, so that's great. But the role to watch is definitely there. Which defensive backs are active? Can they avoid playing the inexperienced corners in Darien Kendrick? And, of course, putting out there Shavon Revel would be not great, and we'll see what we can get some special teams guys out of this. Let us know in the comments section who steps up in this game against Green Bay. Is it Darien Kendrick? Is it Wanya Thomas? or if JPJ is going to be the one to step up, let us know down in the comments section. I appreciate it. I also want to go to one final comment again if you want to get your comment on the video. Comment on today's show. But Gerald Stone saying, I'm not getting fired up for the Cowboys pulling an upset. They looked lame last week at home and once Green Bay makes a few plays and gets their crowd fired up. It's going to be hard for the Cowboys to do that. Hope them wrong. But this year appears to be another letdown. Hope I'm wrong. You know, there's one thing about Cowboys fans and myself that I love. Every week I say how much I hate this team, how much they let me down and how frustrated I am. And yet every Sunday, I'm sat right here in front of y'all, watching the game, streaming it, and I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow, and I'm going to have hope. So, I'm not going to lose hope, and I hope you won't either. JPJ, please play. Please. Appreciate you watching, guys. We'll see you next time here, and we'll see you tomorrow morning for a little bit of a last-minute news and rumors video, and then tomorrow night, 6 p.m. Central Time, maybe 6:15. We're going to be live here on Cowboys Digest for the Packers versus the Cowboys in what is a very big game. We'll appreciate you watching. See you next time. Peace out.
