The Dallas Cowboys brought linebackers Curtis Robinson and Justin Barron up from the practice squad for the Week 2 matchup with the Washington Commanders, which is scheduled to be Dallas’ home opener. The moves come as DeMarvion Overshown deals with a hamstring injury. The team has not provided a timetable for his return and chose practice-squad reinforcements instead of adding a veteran.
Robinson and Barron give Dallas more linebacker options and can contribute on special teams. Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that rookie Jaishawn Barham will wear the green-dot helmet while Overshown is unavailable.
Overshown was fined $9,527 by the NFL for a late hit on New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart in Dallas’ 20-28 Week 1 loss. Outside linebacker Donovan Ezeiruaku received an $11,941 fine for a fourth-quarter facemask, and running back Javonte Williams was fined $11,941 for unsportsmanlike conduct involving taunting.
Blogging The Boys reported that Dallas’ linebackers and safeties will be tested by Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels and the Commanders’ offense. Von Miller, who played 11 snaps in his Dallas debut and spent the 2025 season with Washington, could also draw attention. No further details on Overshown’s injury timeline were provided.
