The Dallas Cowboys were stretched thin at running back in Week 14 after Tony Pollard tore his plantar fascia and missed the game against Washington while Ezekiel Elliott was still hobbled with injury. After just a single game off, Pollard is back for Dallas and will see snaps against the New York Giants.
Starting left tackle Tyron Smith suffered an ankle injury versus Washington and was ruled out for the game early in the week so Terence Steele and Ty Nsekhe will be taking over for the All-Pro lineman. Rounding out the six inactives for the Cowboys are quarterback Will Grier, wide receiver Simi Fehoko, defensive end Azur Kamara, cornerback Nahshon Wright and safety Israel Mukuamu.
For New York, it’s going to be an extremely shorthanded team on the field with a COVID outbreak during the week but the Giants have just two inactives with quarterback Daniel Jones and left guard Ben Bredeson.
Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm are expected to share snaps at quarterback for New York.
