Speaking for the first time since suffering his ankle injury in the playoff loss to San Francisco, Tony Pollard said he is a little ahead of schedule in his rehab and will be fully cleared for the start of training camp. The RB says he’s ahead of schedule and faster, but time will tell. Pollard is also coming off a serious injury that came in January, which could affect him as well. This isn’t to say that Pollard can’t get it done, he’s still in his prime as a RB at just 26-years old with little wear and tear, but he’ll have to prove he can carry the load. The 193 totes last year were a career high for Pollard, who showed no ill effects of the work, but there is a difference in getting the extra carries on a weekly grind as the lead runner instead of being part of a committee. Pollard never eclipsed that number in college at Memphis, or in his four years with the Cowboys. However, will Elliott now gone, Pollard is likely to go over 200 carries for the first time. Pollard was among the league’s best rushers over that span, running for 5.5 and 5.2 yards a carry, while going over 1,000-yards for the first time in his career last season. For the last two seasons, Pollard has been the better, more efficient RB for the Cowboys, surpassing Ezekiel Elliott, who remained the starter.
