Cowboys adjust defense after DeMarvion Overshown injury ahead of game

The Dallas Cowboys are making a significant change to their defense before facing the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed that rookie linebacker Jaishawn Barham will take over the green dot communication responsibilities after DeMarvion Overshown suffered an injury in the season opener against the New York Giants. Following a 28-20 loss, Schottenheimer emphasized the need for improved communication on the defensive side, citing Overshown's indecisiveness. Barham is expected to be more vocal, which should help address the communication issues the team encountered in their first game of the season.
