FRISCO, Texas _ Travis Frederick was in his jersey watching practice from the sidelines Tuesday morning.
It's another good sign for the Dallas Cowboys' center, who is fighting Guillain-Barre syndrome, a very rare autoimmune disease.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said there's nothing new to report on Frederick's status, but the Dallas Cowboys center is attending team meetings getting and looked good on the sideline Sunday night during a preseason game against the Cardinals.
"He seems in good spirits. I know he's working his way back into some workouts," Garrett said Tuesday morning before practice. "I don't want to get into how he's feeling on that. You'd probably have to ask him about that directly. But it's great to have him here. He's been at meetings. He was at our meetings the other night before the game. He's been around our football team, and that's a really good thing."
When Frederick announced the disease, his return was mostly left to speculation. But doctors caught the disease in an early stage and began IVIG treatment quickly, which can shorten the disease's effects on a patient drastically, according to Dr. Farhan Siddiq, an endovascular neurosurgeon and the co-medical director of Texas Health Fort Worth's Stroke and cerebrovascular disease program.
