Kenneth Murray calls Matt Eberflus' defense "a great fit" for him
Our Summary
Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is focused on his rehabilitation after tearing multiple ligaments in his knee and is expected to miss most of the 2025 season. The Cowboys traded for Kenneth Murray from the Titans to fill in for Overshown. Murray has adapted well, taking on the weakside linebacker role in Matt Eberflus’ defensive scheme and earning the responsibility of making defensive play calls. He aims to improve the Cowboys' run defense, which has struggled in recent years, by bringing a new approach and mentality. Murray had a strong previous season with 95 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
