Pollard carried five times for 42 yards and a touchdown while catching his lone target for a nine-yard gain during Saturday's 14-10 preseason win over the Rams.
Pollard got the start but only participated on one drive, a 97-yard march by the Dallas offense. He was especially impressive on his 14-yard touchdown run, exploding through the hole and lowering his shoulder to punch his way in. Pollard has drawn rave reviews during camp and finally showed what he's capable of after a solid, albeit unspectacular, preseason debut. Ezekiel Elliott's contract holdout continues to dominate the headlines, so at the very least, Pollard makes for a nice contingency plan. He should play deeper into next Saturday's preseason game against the Texans.
