Cowboys Training Camp Hit by Injuries: Trevon Diggs & DeMarvion Overshown Start on PUP List

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.

Chiefs Fan-Favourite WR Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, 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.” Rice, who grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose, has long credited that example with shaping his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Rashee that strength isn’t being unbreakable — it’s standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Rashee lives and plays today.” As a featured target in the Chiefs’ offense, Rice has earned complete trust for his short-to-intermediate separation, yards-after-catch power (YAC), and chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Coaches describe him as “calm, focused, and mature beyond his years,” a disciplined route-runner who finds tight windows in the red zone. Through Week 5 of the 2025 season, Rice has no registered game statistics as he serves a league-issued six-game suspension to start the regular season; major stat services list no 2025 game logs to date.  The Kansas City Chiefs have provided time and private support for Rice 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. The FAA is investigating the incident, while messages commemorating “Spidey” continue to spread nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Rice kept his public remarks brief before leaving in the embrace of teammates:“Spidey always told 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.”
