Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is expected to miss his fourth consecutive game for the Cowboys on Thursday night against the Buccaneers. Overshown has not participated in practice due to a hamstring injury, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer described his chances of playing as a "long shot." In his absence, Jaishawn Barham has stepped into the starting role, recording 21 tackles and a forced fumble over the last three games.
