Travis Frederick battling shoulder surgery in addition to Guillain-Barré syndrome

Before Travis Frederick can get back to protecting Dak Prescott and opening up holes for Ezekiel Elliott, he’s going to have to overcome some health issues. When discussing Fredrick’s health, we tend to focus on his recovery from Guillain-Barré syndrome. Rightly so, as the disease wiped out his 2018 season and can linger and cause problems for a while. But Frederick is also being restricted because he had shoulder surgery, something that will keep him from fully participating in the upcoming OTAs and minicamp.

“I’m just getting to the end of the quote-unquote recovery program, if you will, for a shoulder,” Frederick said.
