Travis Frederick: Hangs up cleats
Travis Frederick announced via his personal Twitter account Monday that he will retire from the NFL.Frederick was the epitome of consistent for the Cowboys at center in his seven-year career, aside from the 2018 campaign. Despite being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome that season, Frederick battled back to start all 16 games this past campaign. The 29-year-old will now likely hand the reigns off to Joe Looney, who appears in line to take over at center in 2020.

Cowboys' Travis Frederick: Active to start camp
Travis Frederick (illness/shoulder) is expected to be active for the start of training camp and ready to go for the year, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Frederick sat out the entire 2018 season after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Cowboys' Travis Frederick: Taking part in individual drills
Travis Frederick (illness/shoulder) has been able to work through individual drills during this week's OTAs, Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com reports.After missing all of 2018 while battling Guillain-Barre syndrome and undergoing minor shoulder surgery this offseason, it was expected that Frederick would be held out of team drills and full practices until at least training camp. It's still an encouraging sign that he's able to handle individual drills already, however. The Dallas Cowboys' offensive line took a step backwards in effectiveness last year without its starting center, so if Frederick is able to return to anything close to his prior form, it will provide a boost for the entire offense.

Cowboys' Travis Frederick: Expects full clearance for camp
Travis Frederick (illness/shoulder) won't participate in team drills during OTAs or minicamp, but he doesn't expect to face any limitations during training camp, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.Frederick said he feels "close to if not [back to] full strength" after missing the 2018 season with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, making his limitations in spring workouts mostly a result of the minor shoulder surgery he underwent this offseason. While it's possible Dallas could continue restricting the practice workload of the four-time Pro-Bowl center when training camp arrives, that approach would appear purely precautionary to ensure the team's offensive line is in sound condition for Week 1.
