What It Means:

Pollard suffered the injury towards the end of the first half in the Cowboys' loss, getting tangled up with a defender as he was brought to the ground, and had to be carted from the field due to his inability to put pressure on his leg. The injury will unfortunately require surgery to repair, but Pollard should be healthy be the start of next season.

The Cowboys finally let Pollard work in tandem with teammate Ezekiel Elliott in 2022 (as opposed to behind him), which resulted in the explosive back finishing the regular season with a team-high 1,007 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns on 193 carries, as well as 371 receiving yards and 3 more touchdowns on 39 catches. Pollard will be a free agent entering this offseason.
