In an official injury update released today, the Canberra Raiders have confirmed that forward Corey Horsburgh will not take any further part in their upcoming game after suffering a concussion. The decision comes as part of the club’s strict approach to head injuries, ensuring Henderson undergoes a full recovery before consideration for selection.
Horsburgh was forced from the field following a head knock in their recent clash, and subsequent medical evaluation deemed it unsafe for him to continue in the short term. Though ruled out of their next fixture, the Raiders have indicated that he could be available again by , when they face the Titans — contingent upon successful clearance through the league’s concussion protocols.
The club’s cautious approach reflects broader concerns around head injuries and player welfare, with Horsburgh’s return dependent on passing multiple stages of assessment. Meanwhile, Canberra will need to adjust their forward rotations in his absence, relying on squad depth to cover the gap until he is deemed fit to resume.
