Tony Pollard played college football at East Carolina University, where he excelled. After being picked up by the Dallas Cowboys in the 2019 NFL Draft’s fourth round, he has quickly established himself as a critical cog in the organization’s machine.
When he broke his ankle badly while training in 2020, though, his career dramatically changed. He sustained an injury and hasn’t been able to play since being put on IR. Tony is optimistic and committed to fully recovering and becoming more muscular than before.

What Happened to Pollard?
What Happened to Pollard? Tony Pollard went down with a severe ankle injury in the second quarter of the Dallas Cowboys’ divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. In the second quarter’s latter stages, the Cowboys were hoping to regain the lead over the 49ers by scoring a touchdown after converting on 4th down. In the middle of the field, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott heaved off a throw to wide receiver Tony Pollard, who was tackled from behind by 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward.
Pollard has officially been ruled out with an ankle injury.

A Cowboys runner tried to outrun Ward, but the defensive back crashed on his left ankle, bending it inward. The Cowboys’ medical team heard that running back Pollard had tried to get up but was unable to because of the unbearable pain, and they went out onto the field to help him. He was treated in the blue tent and taken to the locker room on a stretcher. His body language betrayed his dissatisfaction even if he hid his face behind a towel.
How Long Will Tony Pollard Be Out for?
ESPN later reported that Pollard had sustained a fracture to his left fibula, an injury likely to call for surgical intervention. According to rumors, following the operation, he might not return to action for close to three months. According to the latest reports, the running back has sustained a severe ankle sprain and will not be able to continue participating in the game.
However, he’ll likely be out of work for quite some time. Pollard likely sustained a fracture, and there’s a chance he may have also injured some ligaments. Before the team had an MRI done on his ankle, it was challenging to remark on the severity of the injury he sustained to his ankle. Everyone here at Sportskeeda hopes the running back will recover quickly from his injury.
