Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has revealed ruckman Tim English could be out for several weeks having entered concussion protocols again.
English exited Friday night’s win over Port Adelaide late following a collision with teammate Matt Kennedy.
The Dogs ruckman has had concussion issues in the past, meaning the Dogs will likely tread carefully with his return to play.
“He just failed his SCAT so he’ll be out for whatever period of time,” Beveridge said.
“He’s got a history there, so as we do with all our players who might have concussion management (for a) period of time, we’ll be conservative and we’ll look after him.
“So at this stage it’ll definitely be one week off then beyond that we’ll just work through it.”
The Dogs are due to play Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night in Round 10 followed by a Sunday clash with Melbourne in Round 11.
