Cowboys RB Elliott inactive against Bears with knee injury

Ezekiel Elliott is inactive for the Dallas Cowboys against the Chicago Bears with a sprained right knee

Lead-back role awaits Pollard is in line to handle a featured role out of the Dallas backfield in Sunday's game against Chicago with Ezekiel Elliott (knee/thigh) inactive for the contest, Michael Gehlke...

Impact Dallas moved up running backs Malik Davis and Qadree Ollison from the practice squad Saturday, but neither is a sure bet to poach a significant amount of snaps or touches from Pollard, who could be in store for one of the largest workloads of his career while Elliott sits out for the first time since Week 15 of the 2020 season. The Cowboys are on bye Week 9 before returning to action in Green Bay on Nov. 13, at which point Elliott may have made enough progress in his recovery from a Grade 2 right MCL sprain and a thigh bruise to re-enter the lineup. With that in mind, Pollard may be in store for only one game as the Cowboys' unquestioned lead back, but he'll at least make for a strong option in fantasy lineups this week.

With Dak back, can the Cowboys jumpstart passing attack?

The Cowboys are likely going to need some big passing performances from Dak Prescott moving forward in their quest for the postseason.

OCTOBER 28, 2022

Likely starting with Zeke injured Pollard is expected to start Sunday against the Bears in place of Ezekiel Elliott (knee), Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The Cowboys are sending signals they plan to hold Elliott out until after their Week 9 bye, leaving practice-squad players Malik Davis and Qadree Ollison as the likely options behind Pollard, who had 132 total yards and two touchdowns the only other time Elliott missed a game the past four years (Week 15 of 2020). It's a good opportunity for Pollard to see much more than his usual 11.1 touches per game, with the Cowboys playing at home against a sub-.500 team on short rest.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Efficient with 14 touches Pollard rushed 12 times for 83 yards and secured both targets for 26 yards in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Pollard was three carries behind backfield mate Ezekiel Elliott, but he outgained him by 26 yards. The fourth-year back's 6.9 yards per carry was especially impressive, and he's now eclipsed the 80-yard mark on the ground in two of his last three games. His next opportunity to continue churning out strong numbers comes in a favorable Week 8 home matchup against the Bears' suspect run defense.
