Dude, the Dallas Cowboys just pulled Justin Barron and Curtis Robinson straight off their practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Commanders. Why? DeMarvion Overshown is officially out with a hamstring injury, forcing their hand.
Rookie Taking the Green Dot?!
Overshown’s injury means rookie Jaishawn Barham is getting thrown right into the starting lineup for Sunday. And get this: he’s also wearing the green dot, which means he’s getting play calls from the coaches. That’s a massive ask for a young guy, right?
Who Are These Replacements?
So, who are these two linebackers getting the sudden call-up? Justin Barron saw action on special teams in two games for the Cowboys last season. Curtis Robinson brings a bit more experience, having appeared in 14 games and made three starts for the 49ers last season. But let’s be real, these are temporary fixes; both guys revert back to the practice squad after the game.
How’s this patchwork defense going to hold up against the Commanders on Sunday? It’s going to be a massive test for Barham stepping into that critical role, and for Barron and Robinson to provide any kind of depth. This move screams depth issues at linebacker for Dallas.
