In the aftermath of a heartbreaking 19–12 loss to the 49ers in an NFC divisional round game, things went from bad to worse for the Cowboys.
Dallas running back Tony Pollard suffered a fractured left fibula in the loss and will undergo surgery, according to a Sunday night report from Todd Archer of ESPN. Archer noted that the injury typically "[requires] a three-month recovery."
Pollard was held to just 22 yards on six carries due to his injury, and left the game with 1:24 left in the first half. The Cowboys struggled to run the football in his absence, finishing the game with 76 yards rushing—their fourth-lowest total of the season.
