Center Travis Frederick is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome and right guard Zack Martin is missing time with a knee injury, but that may not be the end of the injury concerns on the Cowboys offensive line.

Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports that right tackle La'el Collins has his left ankle heavily taped on Thursday and has a noticeable limp when he walks around. There’s been no word from Collins or anyone from the team about an injury at this point.

Sounds like an ankle sprain to me, hopefully it's not the high variety.

Shut down Tyron (back surgery), Frederick (nerves), Martin (knee) and Collins (ankle) until OTAs. They will be fully healthy at that point

Frederick has an autoimmune disorder and there's no way to know how long that will sideline him.

Why not.

Why not.

It could be days, weeks, months or even years, it affects everyone who gets it to a different degree.

Frederick has an autoimmune disorder and there's no way to know how long that will sideline him.

Less than 3% of people with that disorder don't fully recover within 6 months, according to multiple medical sites.

And I'd be willing to bet most of those 3% aren't young nor athletic.

So he'll be fine by OTAs.

It only affects less than 3% of victims for years.

Yikes I hope you don't mean next June.

Remember the early 90s when they practiced a LOT harder in preseason but not nearly as many guys got hurt?

Our strongest position is turning into a position we’ve become worried about it instantly.

 

[cristglo]

At this point I dont even know what to say. I would sit all my starters down but Dang will we even be able to field a team? If he is out do you want to play Looney if he gets hurt we are screwed.
Really hope its just a minor sprain but the way he is limping dont look good.
