FRISCO, Texas -- With only four weeks remaining, Dallas Cowboys center Travis Frederick admits it is a long shot that he will play at all this season but the four-time Pro Bowler believes he will be able to return in 2019.
"I feel very good about being able to play next year," said Frederick, who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an autoimmune disease that affects the nervous system, in August at the end of training camp. "We don't know what the top end (of recovery) is going to be. There could be something lingering or permanent damage that we don't know about but based on the tests and the things we've seen we don't think there is (damage to the actual nerves).
