NFL competition committee set to review plays that led to injuries in divisional playoff games: report

Cowboys' Tony Pollard suffered an ankle injury in a divisional round playoff game; the league is expected to look into the mechanics of tackles that led to injuries on Sunday.

defenders were not flagged for the play because the actions were also considered legal under the league rules. But the competition committee will also discuss the tackle when it meets this offseason.

Tony Pollard of the Dallas Cowboys is assisted by medical staff after suffering an injury against the San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium on January 22, 2023, in Santa Clara, California. The NFL has previously altered its rules to ban horse-collar tackles and low hits on quarterbacks due to the likelihood of an injury taking place.

A discussion in the coming months about these two plays does not mean the league will change any rules, but certain tackles could come under more scrutiny going forward.
