As always, there is plenty of injury news circling within the AFL.

In unfortunate news, Port Adelaide captain Connor Rozee's season has come to an end amid ongoing hamstring issues throughout his rehab process.

After suffering a high-grade hamstring tendon rupture in Round 2, the skipper began treatment immediately, with hopes of a return in the later stages of the 2026 season.

However, due to ongoing nerve complications, Port Adelaide has officially ruled him out for the remainder of this year, with the extended break set to allow a full return to football in 2027.

"After seeking multiple specialist opinions, we decided on non-surgical approach at this stage for Connor," Port Adelaide's Head of Medical Services Tim O'Leary said.

"The hamstring repair has healed really well, however the complication with the initial nerve injury has made it increasingly difficult for Connor's rehab to progress further.

"We're quite optimistic this intervention will help get the rehab back on track, giving him plenty of time to prepare his body for the 2027 pre-season.

"We are incredibly disappointed for Connor and know how much he wishes he could be out on the field with his teammates again this year. But we know he will keep attacking his rehab with the same relentless intensity that he has from day one, and will continue to be the same outstanding leader within the club during his time in rehab."
