[UPDATED] Jerry Jones: Travis Frederick gets good news on stingers, expects him & Zack Martin to play season-opener

Could the injury worries be behind us for the Cowboys interior line?

UPDATE: The Dallas Morning News notes that Frederick is still getting more information on the stinger issue, so all options are still on the table. While the headline of “surgery not ruled out” is technically true, as of now there has been no medical opinion indicating they would be leaning in that direction. In fact, they haven’t received any bad news to this point.


Original article starts here.

Jerry Jones isn’t a doctor, but he plays one on TV, or on the radio as is the case today. Jones was on 105.3 The Fan this morning and discussed the latest on Travis Frederick. The Cowboys star center was going back for another opinion on the stingers that have been plaguing him since the Cowboys were out in Oxnard. Frederick went to see a specialist out there and was given the all clear, so we thought this particular incident was behind us. But yesterday we found out that Frederick was going back for a second opinion, or possibly a third. That threw Cowboys fans into an anxiety bubble.

Dr. Jerry Jones is here to clear the air, and if he is to be believed, it’s all good.

Not only was it good news for Frederick, but Jones confirmed the Cowboys expect Zack Martin to also be ready for the September 9th opener on the road against the Carolina Panthers. Frederick and Martin form a rock-solid interior tandem in the Cowboys offensive line and are crucial to the team’s chances at success in 2018. Let’s hope Dr. Jerry is right.
