Not only are the Dallas Cowboys yet to reach a deal with Ezekiel Elliott, but they are also starting to suggest backup Tony Pollard could fill in as a replacement.
Owner Jerry Jones praised the rookie fourth-round pick Sunday following his first preseason game.
"I certainly thought he had a good account of himself," Jones said, per David Helman of the team's official site. "He looks confident out there, we know he's inordinately understanding of what he does and can do. We've seen him do it, we know he's capable of, if he really needs to, carrying the whole load.
