Cowboys inactives list for Week 15 game against Panthers
By Jerry Trotta
Just when you thought the Dallas Cowboys' season couldn't get more merciless, ascending star DeMarvion Overshown suffered a catastrophic knee injury that could cause him to miss the entire 2025 season.
While devastating, Overshown is far from the Cowboys' only injury concern for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
Lost amid Overshown's injury and Amani Oruwariye's special teams gaffe was standout rookie Cooper Beebe leaving Week 14 with a concussion.
Beebe has been one of a few bright spots in an otherwise lost season. Among 15 qualified rookie offensive linemen, Beeb has allowed the third-fewest pressures and second-fewest hurries, per Pro Football Focus (subscription required). He ranks second in the class with a 98.3 pass-blocking efficiency.
On a short week, Beebe unsurprisingly has not cleared concussion protocol and will miss the first game of his young career. Let's get into the rest of the Cowboys' injury report and inactives list.

Player | Position |
|---|---|
Juanyeh Thomas | S |
Trevon Diggs | CB |
Duece Vaughn | RB |
Cooper Beebe | C |
Ryan Flournoy | CB |
Tyrus Wheat | DE |
The Cowboys ruled out Trevon Diggs after he was a DNP on Friday. Diggs returned from a two-game absence last week, so he's likely dealing with soreness in his knee.
Jourdan Lewis will play despite being limited all week with a hamstring. Lewis owns the highest coverage grade on the defense and has been a tone-setter against the run from the nickel position
