On the heels of owner Jerry Jones proclaiming that running back Ezekiel Elliott “has to be the focus” in the run game, Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has reportedly been taking reps at a different position during training camp.
One way or another, Dallas is looking for ways to get Pollard more involved in the offense even if that means practicing at slot receiver, as he has done throughout points of training camp.
Offensive assistant Kyle Valero has been working with Pollard one-on-one to develop his skill set as a receiver in the hopes that the Cowboys can utilize both Elliott and Pollard on the field at the same time this season, according to a report from Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.
