Per source, cowboys are leaning toward placing center Travis Frederick on injured reserve to make room for David Irving. But no final decision has been made. Stay tuned

I was wondering who got cut for Irving, guess no one as of yet.

 

[glimmerman]

I thought he was looking and feeling better.

What are the ramifications for that. Can he still come back after week 9 or whatever or does that mean done for the year. Maybe they think Looney is getting better and better.

 

[perrykemp]

That sux. I wash hoping T-Fred would somehow make it back this season.

Let's cross our fingers this is a 1 year thing....

 

[ClappingCarrot]

With the play of Looney over the past 2 or 3 weeks, I'm okay with this move.

Get well soon, Fredbeard.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I'm not surprised. Never expected him back this year.

They should have IR'd him in camp, then made a decision in week 9. Now he would be able to come back week 13. Season will be over by then.

Get ready for some "I told you so" posts/threads coming.

 

[pugilist]

they caught it early which is great

but as I understand it, the recovery / rehab process is long.

 

[Avery]

I'd rather him miss a year than miss the rest of his career.

 

[Teague31]

was a ridiculous decision not to put him on IR to begin with

If I were a decision maker in the Cowboys front office, I would consider Fredbeard out for the season.

Anybody that knows dallas knew that “oh were looking at a week 8 return” or “short term ir” or “he’ll be back for sure” means he is done for the year

I’m not sure why. It did absolutely no harm to keep him off IR and hope for the best. Now push may be coming to shove with DI back and their hand may be forced to IR Fred and see if he will be ready or needed for weeks 15-17. I think the organization and TF himself have been very careful not to make any proclamations about when he would or could return.

I think he's done for the year. I thought this when I heard him talk and when I read up on the situation. It is what it is. Gotta hope that our Offensive line continues to improve and come together.

 

[Direwolf63]

They did the same thing wit Jaylon Smith his rookie year. Kept him off IR and hoping he could contribute.

I think what his doctors tell management will ultimately be what decides what happens with Fredrick.

 

[John813]

Could still come back 13/14 if we IR him now

 

[Sydla]

I figured they were overly optimistic on him so this is no surprise.

At least Looney is playing decently.

 

[Daillest88]

Give him a year off, should be ready next year. Looney has been above average

Exactly. What harm has it done?
