Tony Pollard will be battling back from injury, but is still projected to be back before camp starts.
Tight Roping: That is the newest surgery procedure running back Tony Pollard underwent to repair the torn ligaments above his ankle where the tibia and fibula come together. Instead of inserting screws to repair the torn ligaments, and then having to undergo a second surgery to remove those screws, they now basically use thin fiber to tie the ligaments together around the lower bones above the ankle to facilitate healing. Now called “tightrope” surgery. For a previous example, this is the surgery performed to repair Tua Tagovailoa’s high ankle sprain during the 2019 season at Alabama.
