Offensive Line Concern

Cat Crave: Can you share a bit about the injury issues the Cowboys have had along their offensive line recently?

SM: Well, the major loss is Travis Frederick, who was recently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. The Pro Bowl center is out indefinitely. In his place will be veteran backup Joe Looney, who is entering this third season in Dallas.

All-Pro right guard Zack Martin suffered a knee injury during the preseason but appears to be ready to start this Sunday. Finally, starting left tackle Tyron Smith has been battling knee and back injuries for some time. He is also expected to start in Week One.
