Dallas Cowboys star running back Tony Pollard had a game-ending injury against the San Francisco 49ers.

Pollard had 33 yards on eight touches before his injury.

Pollard suffered a high ankle sprain and had to be carted off the field.

In his absence, the Cowboys offense struggled with just 76 rushing yards on 22 carries. Ezekiel Elliott led the Cowboys with 10 rushes for 26 yards.

The Cowboys have a lot of decisions to make during the offseason, most notably what happens to the backfield duo who shared the ball this season.
