The Dallas Cowboys plan to lighten running back Ezekiel Elliott's workload in 2019, and rookie fourth-round pick Tony Pollard figures to have a big hand in that.
According to Jori Epstein of USA Today, Cowboys running backs coach Gary Brown stressed the importance of taking a bit off Elliott's plate to ensure he remains healthy and effective in 2019 and beyond:
"We understand what Zeke is to our football team and to our organization, to our success. It's important for us as an organization to maximize his ability to go out and help us win championships.
