Cowboys all pro center out indefinitely

Some auto immune syndrome. I hate it for Dak, but I'm liking the way this year might shake out for them.

Are we sure he’s going to play pro football again?

after playing the new Madden with the Cowboys, i'm not so sure.

With GBS being the diagnosis you'd think it's anything but certain that he'll play again. Maybe so. But I've known several ppl afflicted with that and most are never completely the same.

Football really comes down to the O-line. Injuries there are why the Cowboys regressed last year (much more than because of Sean Lee or even the RB). You can gameplan around average receivers, QB, RB, but if your Oline sucks there just aren't many options!
The Boys success this year depends on keeping the line healthy (obviously this is not a good start). If he is gone, that could definitely make the difference in a couple of games this year.

I was reading that this was a huge loss. He made most of the calls for the OL.

In 2017 Frederick was the 37th highest rated player regardless of position by PFF. In 2017 he allowed 12 pressures on 555 pass blocking assignments. He has not allowed a sack since 2014. Listening to the radio locally, he caught the disease extremely early, a doctor familiar with the disease says the most (80%) patients recover fully in 3-8 months. Catching it early helps those odds. Most likely bet is next season, with slim odds at both returning this season or not fully recovering.

The Cowboys will be lucky to win 7 games.

Those who don't catch it early pretty much feel like they are paralyzed but can feel everything on the inside just can't move. A neighbor had a spell with this several years ago and the drug used in treatment to start the reversal of symptoms was in the $26 grand/day range. It's a scary ordeal. I know another lady who hasn't walked in 40 years due do GBS. A lot of times it's a response to flu vaccines
