Has Tony Pollard Forced the Cowboys Into a RB Timeshare in 2020?

Ezekiel Elliott’s days of being the Dallas Cowboys workhorse running back could be coming to an end. He’s handled the lion’s share of the workload since entering the league in 2016, but it might be time for him to dial it back just a bit. He has none other than RB Tony Pollard to thank for …
