Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Requires surgery
Pollard suffered a fractured left fibula and a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 19-12 loss to the 49ers in the divisional round and will require offseason surgery on the former injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Pollard was carted to the locker room late in the first half of the contest and didn't return, ending the day with six carries for 22 yards and two catches for 11 yards. A timeline for his recovery won't be established until after surgery is completed, the procedure typically entails a 3-to-4-month rehab process. With that in mind, Pollard could be back to 100 percent at some point between the latter stages of OTAs in the spring and the start of NFL training camps in late July, but it's unclear if he'll be with Dallas or another club. The 2019 fourth-round pick was in the final year of his rookie contract in 2022 but is a candidate to receive the franchise tag from the Cowboys this offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Won't return Sunday
Pollard (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against San Francisco, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Pollard sustained a left ankle injury late in the first half of Sunday's matchup, and coach Mike McCarthy said at halftime that the running back will be unavailable for the second half. Prior to his departure, Pollard rushed six times for 22 yards while securing two of three targets for 11 yards. His injury was described as a high-ankle sprain by the Fox broadcast, putting his availability for next weekend's NFC Championship Game against the Eagles in doubt if the Cowboys advance, but more work will be available for Ezekiel Elliott and Malik Davis to close out Sunday's game against San Francisco.

Cowboys' Tony Pollard: Carted to locker room
Pollard was carted to the locker room late in the first half of Sunday's divisional-round game against the 49ers due to an apparent left leg injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Pollard's left leg was rolled up on in the closing minutes of the second quarter Sunday, and he was helped off the field afterward. After spending some time in the medical tent, he was carted to the locker room with seconds remaining before halftime. If Pollard is unable to return for the second half, Ezekiel Elliott will be in line to operate as the Cowboys' clear lead running back, while Malik Davis could also see some work as a secondary option.

Craig Reynolds RB | WAS
Lions' Craig Reynolds: Totals 218 yards in 2022
Reynolds rushed 23 times for 102 yards while catching nine of 10 targets for 116 yards over nine games in 2022.
Reynolds opened the year as the No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams, but he couldn't stay healthy and eventually fell behind Justin Jackson on the depth chart as well. While Reynolds is now set to hit free agency at the end of the league year, it's possible he could return to a more prominent role for the Lions in 2023 considering both Williams and Jackson are also on expiring contracts.

Devin Singletary RB | NYG
Bills' Devin Singletary: Modest output Sunday
Singletary rushed six times for 25 yards and caught five of eight targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional round.
Singletary trailed quarterback Josh Allen in both carries and rushing yards in snowy conditions, resulting in struggles in the passing game. Furthermore, Allen scored Buffalo's lone touchdown of the contest, sneaking in from one yard. Although he contributed with a handful of catches, it was another lukewarm performance from Singletary, who is now slated to become an unrestricted free agent after totaling 1,099 scrimmage yards and six scores on 215 touches this season.

Joe Mixon RB | HOU
Bengals' Joe Mixon: Tops century mark
Mixon rushed 20 times for 105 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bills in the AFC divisional round. He also caught two of three targets for 18 yards.
Mixon dashed through the snow behind a dominant offensive line, topping the 100-yard mark for the first time since his Week 9 explosion versus the Panthers. The tailback also plowed his way in for one-yard touchdown to close the third quarter, helping Cincinnati extend its one-score lead at the time. Mixon will now set his sights on next Sunday's matchup versus the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Although he was sidelined for his team's meeting with Kansas City in Week 13 of the regular season, Mixon totaled 115 yards on 24 touches in last year's AFC Championship Game victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

Tyrion Davis-Price RB | GB
49ers' Tyrion Davis-Price: Sitting out Sunday
Davis-Price (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Cowboys.
Davis-Price was also a healthy scratch for the team's wild-card round win over the Seahawks. The rookie running back has failed to gain a steady role with the 49ers this season, although he was active for each of the last three weeks of the regular season. The team will roll with Christian McCaffrey, Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason in the backfield Sunday against Dallas.

Snoop Conner RB | DAL
Jaguars' Snoop Conner: Finishes 2022 with 42 yards
Conner closed the 2022 campaign with 12 carries for 42 yards and one touchdown in eight games.
The 22-year-old had a minimal role in Jacksonville's offense during his rookie campaign, and he played just one offensive snap between the two playoff games. Primary backup tailback JaMycal Hasty is a restricted free agent this offseason, so the Jaguars can choose to bring him back. Conner is unlikely to enter training camp better than No. 3 on the depth chart since workhorse Travis Etienne will also return.

Jashaun Corbin RB | DAL
Giants' Jashaun Corbin: Gets new deal
Corbin signed a reserve/future contract with the Giants on Sunday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Corbin signed with New York as a UDFA out of Florida State in May. The 22-year-old spent the season on the team's practice squad, and although he was elevated for the wild-card round game against the Vikings, he was inactive for the contest. He'll now have the opportunity to earn a larger role with the team for next season.

Matt Breida RB | SF
Giants' Matt Breida: Scores in divisional-round loss
Breida rushed four times for 23 yards and a touchdown and secured his only target for 19 yards in the Giants' 38-7 divisional-round loss to the Eagles on Saturday night.
Breida ended up recording the only score of the night for the Giants on an eight-yard run just past the halfway point of the third quarter. His first-half reception was also noteworthy, as he worked himself open to save a play on which Daniel Jones had to scramble for an extended period. Breida played his first season in New York on a one-year contract, and after doing a serviceable job as a complementary option with a 54-220-1 line on the ground and a 20-118 tally through the air in the regular season, it's conceivable he could be brought back in 2023.
