“We feel really good about the health of this team.”
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said in a radio interview that Pollard is ready to go for the postseason.
Pollard didn’t play in Week 18 because of a foot injury but has practiced in a limited capacity. He will lighten the load on Ezekiel Elliott, who has played with a knee injury for a significant portion of the season. Pollard picked up 719 rushing yards and two touchdowns in 15 games this season. He averaged 5.5 yards per carry, which is higher than Elliott’s 4.2.
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Cowboys are a -164 on the moneyline and -3 on the spread against San Francisco.
Dallas finished first in the NFC East with a 12-5 record this season.
