He was never healthy since it felt like stepping on a rock with pain in his heel prior to the tear, yet he made that long run on a bad foot. Players play if able.

No that's Zeke who's been using his knee injury as an excuse for poor play. Pollard has a torn fasciaa, that really hurts.

If Pollard had to carry the weight of Zeke's head for one day it would break him mentally.

He’s not going to be healthy the rest of the season. Neither will Zeke. If we can’t run the ball efficiently Dak and the offense may continue to struggle the rest of the season. With both of our top runners injured we’re just going to have to hope our passing game comes around. Hard to get the play action pass game to open up when you can’t run the ball.

Good time to game audition fresh backups to see if we can hit on one who can deliver more.

If they keep playing them and practicing them they won’t get healthy the rest of the season. I don’t believe either will be close to 100% by the playoffs. Them not being healthy could come back to bite us. Zeke tweaked his knee late in the game last week. He had a slight limp as he went back to the sidelines.

The injuries are overblown, if they were significant they would have been shutdown already for the season. They both will play in the playoffs with peak performance!

AKA the OL will return to form and create real running lanes in power & zone plays.

It’s not exactly the best time to audition backs because we still don’t have a playoff spot locked up but with four games to play all we need is one more win. These backs do you need some experience. You just hope they don’t put the ball on the ground.

I don’t agree with that statement at all

How are they going to get better if we keep playing them? At the end of the Washington game Zeke was limping. He continues to tweak the knee and you can tell by the way he’s running he’s not healthy. Pollard has an injury that’s not going to get better until the off-season. Listen to players that have had the injury.

They’re obviously not significant injuries but without rest they’re not going to get better. We’re playing them because we haven’t got a playoff spot locked up. If we lock up a playoff spot this weekend they may decide to sit both players until the playoffs.

That’s not why were playing them. Forget it not worth it we’re playing the Giants we don’t need him . If we play him is because he can

We’re not playing Pollard because he’s injured. This is an important game for the Cowboys they don’t have a playoff spot locked up. This is the softest game they have left they need to win.

I train with a two time Super Bowl running back. I don’t need to explain anything further , about planters fasciitis

You don’t need to explain it any further it’s been explained by players that have had the injury. He won’t be 100% until the offseason.
