Travis Frederick has Guillain Barre Syndrome

[TWOK11]

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.

Yep

 

[HungryLion]

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.

It absolutely can be serious. It’s no joke.

But he is going to get the best medical care in the world to treat it also. A luxury not afforded to most.

So Joe Looney is your starting C this year.

We might as well get Zeke, Tyron and La'el out of there and really make it a crapshow.

 

[Section446]

He's done. Put a fork in him.

Meanwhile Dak Prescott? Nothing. Not even a cold.

Dak's going to have a HARD time this season.

hahaha. made me laugh tbh

Good thing they just paid him a boatload of money last year.

 

[Tarheelcowboy]

Just wait for the Dak news!

We already received that bad news....he is currently the starter.

 

[Corso]

Everyone (except for a few) worrying about the team...
I worry for him.

Football is a damn game. This is his life.

I don't care about the Dallas Cowboys, over his ability to live his life.
Love the man and hope he has a long and healthy life after this with his family.

Now let's go draft a badd-A center next year, yes?

 

[Frosty]

Fred needs to take care of himself and family first. Football is just a game.

You're cheering me up.

They say God works in mysterious ways.

You are an outstanding human being.

He cripples one to appease you. Nice.

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

Most people don't take repeated head and neck trauma for sustained periods of time for 20+ weeks out of the year.

 

[Risen Star]

What if this means they try Chaz Green at C?

 

[RodeoJake]

The important thing is for TFred to get better. What effect it has on our team is secondary.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Well this sucks but for him as a person glad he caught it early.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

What if this means they try Chaz Green at C?

Are you hoping for that? lol

Not necessarily true on the blood transfusions
