As the Dallas Cowboys kicked off training camp in Oxnard, two key defenders—star cornerback Trevon Diggs and promising linebacker DeMarvion Overshown—were officially placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. The team’s depth in the secondary and linebacker corps will be put to the test right from day one.

On July 21, the Cowboys confirmed both Diggs and Overshown, along with CB Josh Butler, would be sidelined as camp begins. Diggs is rehabbing a torn ACL from last season, while Overshown continues his recovery from a similar knee injury suffered in 2023’s preseason. Per NFL rules, players on the active/PUP list can return to practice once medically cleared, but they cannot participate in on-field drills until then.

For Dallas, this news stings. Trevon Diggs—an All-Pro talent and the anchor of the Cowboys’ secondary—remains critical to the team’s Super Bowl aspirations. His absence forces young, untested corners to step up immediately. Overshown, drafted for his athleticism and upside, was expected to play a major role at linebacker in 2025.

The challenge: maintain intensity and performance on defense without two of its most promising pieces. Coaches now get an early look at roster depth, while veterans and rookies alike must rise to the occasion.

Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer said:
“Both Trevon and DeMarvion are working hard to return. Our training staff is doing everything possible, and we have confidence in the next men up.”

Diggs suffered his season-ending injury during a routine practice in 2024, shaking the defense’s identity. Overshown, a third-round pick in 2023, was sidelined before his rookie campaign began. Both have spent months rehabbing and were expected to compete for major roles in Dan Quinn’s defense last year. The PUP designation allows both to return at any point during camp once cleared by medical staff.

Eagles Star CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Cooper DeJean is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 game , as his cousin Justin Fuller a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville.   Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.”   DeJean —whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dejean that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how he lives and plays today.” In the Eagles’ defensive system, DeJean has steadily earned complete trust thanks to his versatility — working outside at corner, in the slot (nickel), and on coverage units — and standing out for top-end speed, precise tackling angles, and the ability to read quarterbacks. Coaches describe him as “calm, wise beyond his years, and disciplined at the catch point,” consistently maintaining leverage and finishing clean in tight spaces. Through the first five games of 2025, DeJean has played every defensive snap and totaled 36 tackles (26 solo) with five passes defensed, reinforcing his value on the perimeter and inside.  The Philadelphia Eagles have provided time and private support for DeJean and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. An FAA investigation into the accident is underway, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in across social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. DeJean kept his public remarks brief before being embraced by teammates:“He taught me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
