Simplified view, I suppose. An Immune System issue.

And so the Joe Looney era begins.

Man the histrionics with some people around here.

GBS isn’t necessarily a permanent condition. People can make a full recovery from it.

The “his career is over” stuff is way too premature.

 

[Doomsday101]

His career's over.

how do you figure that. He does not seem to think his career is over.

 

[VACowboy]

Not necessarily. Plenty of people make a full recovery from it.

From Wikipedia:

There's no known cure for Guillain-Barre syndrome, but several treatments can ease symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness. Most people recover from Guillain-Barre syndrome, though some may experience lingering effects from it, such as weakness, numbness or fatigue.

Thinking good thoughts for you, Travis.

Let's hope so. It's typically a 6 to 12 month recovery.

This season almost can't get any worse.

Just wait for the Dak news!

That might be the end of his career.

Not at all. Young people diagnosed and treated early have an excellent prognosis.

Now if he goes onto develop chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy that’s a different story

Let's hope so. It's typically a 6 to 12 month recovery.

I know it really really is crappy news. But this might be no worse than an ACL tear as far as how much time he misses.

The retirement talk is definitely premature.

 

[Stash]

His career's over.

Prognosis for recovery seems good, especially since they seem to have diagnosed it very early.

 

[Doomsday]

Most people eventually make a full recovery from Guillain-Barré syndrome, but this can take a long time and some people have long-term problems. The time it takes to recover can vary from a few weeks to a few months, or sometimes several years. The vast majority of people recover within a year.

This news just ruined my day.

Get well soon Mr.Beard.

This is a serious condition though. He will need to be hospitalized and a blood transfusion is a possibility along with some type of immunological treatment. Basically his body is attacking its own nerve cells. Recovery is done on its own but treatment can speed up the process. There is a real possibility he is out for an extended period of time.

Many people have complete resolution of symptoms in less than 4 weeks. Frederick has a very mild presentation.

Dang,
Like losing a Sean Lee on the offensive side of the ball. He was one of the few really reliable "show up every game" players on the whole team.
Prayers for his recovery and NFL career.

Agreed.

As is typical around here... Folks jump to conclusions.

God is all like "hmm, which positions do the Cowboys have the LEAST amount of depth in? OL and S? Yeah, let's decimate those positions."

 

[MichaelWinicki]

On one hand may be a "better" problem than a herniated disk.
