Tony Pollard Injury News
Pollard underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix up his right ankle sprain.
The fibula injury will heal on its own and will not require a surgery or casting.
Similar injuries typically mean a 10-12 week recovery timeline, meaning Pollard will likely be ready to return to action in May.
Will Tony Pollard Return by Week 1 of the 2023 Season?
The Pro Bowler is expected to be back in action by training camp, taking the offseason to heal up from his ankle surgery and broken fibula. However, Pollard may not be a Dallas Cowboy the next time he takes the field.
Pollard is a part of a loaded group of upcoming free agent running backs come March, headlined by Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs.
The NFL’s running back landscape is bound to shake up with all of the names floating around in free agency, along with incoming rookie talents such as Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sean Tucker.
While Pollard should be ready to go by Week 1 next year, he may not do so as a Dallas Cowboy.
