Dallas Cowboys: Travis Frederick doubtful to return this season

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a major blow to their offensive line right before the start of their regular season. The Cowboys found out they would be without the services of one of their team’s top players for the unforeseeable future.

Back in late August, it was revealed that All-Pro center Travis Frederick had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), an autoimmune disease.

GBS is a rare neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. It can result in feeling brief weakness ranging all the way up to paralysis according to the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
