The Dallas Cowboys are managing fine without All-Pro C Travis Frederick, but they would certainly love to have him back as they continue their playoff push. Unfortunately, the latest update on Frederick’s game readiness is far from promising.

The Cowboys replaced Frederick at Center with converted-Guard Joe Looney.
