Brisbane is anticipating Dayne Zorko and Daniel Rich will only miss one game as a result of hamstring injuries suffered on Thursday night.
In the win over the Western Bulldogs, Zorko was taken off early in the first quarter, while Rich joined him on the sidelines in the second term.
Zorko’s injury in particular is of concern due to it being a recurring niggle, while Rich hasn’t missed a game in 2022.
Scan results have confirmed minor hamstring strains for both Dayne Zorko and Daniel Rich 😔 More Info below ⬇️https://t.co/9HeiqnEPud

However, the Lions confirmed on Saturday afternoon that both are expected to only miss next week’s clash against Essendon due to "hamstring awareness".
That would leave them available to play GWS the following week in Canberra.
The Lions moved back into the top two with their win over the Dogs but could finish Round 16 as low as fourth if Geelong and Fremantle both post big wins.
